You may be selling your home and are tempted to avoid getting a Camarillo real estate agent. That would likely not be a good idea. Why?
We’ll tell you several reasons why you should get a real estate agent and save yourself a lot of potential headaches.
You Could Have a Hard Time Getting a Real Estate Agent to Show Your Home
Yes, you could do all the work of setting up your home and putting it up for sale. That does not mean that real estate agents would want to bring people over. In their mind, it would not be them … it would be you that is causing the issue.
Real estate agents like dealing with other real estate agents. They tend to be wary of homes that are sold by the owner – the price could be too high or overvalued, or the owner could be unwilling to negotiate. So they stay away from those.
A Real Estate Agent Could Keep You From Letting Your Emotions Get in The Way
You love your home, and having to sell it could be a difficult thing to do by yourself. You could also make errors by pricing the house too high and also not even thinking of countering a low offer. The real estate agent can be a buffer of common sense for you.
Also, if you are home and someone looks at the place and makes an unkind comment about it – that could hurt. The real estate agent could eliminate that sting for you. They just make the whole thing easier.
The Agent Can Devote Their Time To The Job
Trying to sell your home is a full-time job. It can be extra stressful if you are trying to sell the home yourself and someone wants to see it. Would you have to rush home to do that?
A real estate agent can take that burden off your shoulders. They can devote the time – and they could even show the home themselves, thanks to a lockbox outside your door. That is a lot less effort.
Ultimately, getting a real estate agent could be the big difference between selling your home for a great price or having to wait for a long time to get an offer. While you might want to avoid paying the commission, the work they put into promoting the home and selling it can make that worth it. Then you can use the money to go to a new home.
