Why Do I Need an Agent to Sell my Home?

Do I Need An Agent - Nest Realty

Get a leg up on the competition

With all the technology we have today, is it really necessary to hire a real estate agent to sell your home? While it may seem like homes should all but sell themselves, listing agents do a lot of work behind the scenes to get their clients the best return on investment. That’s why according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR),  91 percent of home sellers worked with an agent in 2018. The expertise of an agent helped most home sellers reap a significantly higher price for their home than those who did not work with an agent. Read on to find out some of the reasons why.

Pricing It Right

Listing agents know the process inside and out, easing the task for you:

  • They’ll be able to help you accurately price your home to attract buyers and get you what it’s worth.
  • Agents can spot maintenance issues you’ve overlooked or grown accustomed to.
  • They’ll also be an impartial voice during negotiations, especially if you have an understandable attachment to your home.

Agents can take advantage of professional networks and tools:

  • They have the skills necessary to market your home effectively.
  • They can assemble the right team of vendors to get you the best deal on the sale.
  • Agents can list your house on a multiple listing service (MLS), which is only accessible to professionals.
  • Agents can also handle the technical side of dealing with contracts, paperwork, and more.

Nest Realty agents have the tools of a professional in-house marketing team at their fingertips, as well as proprietary software designed to make the home selling process easier and more transparent for you, the seller. Nest agents also have the power of a nationally recognized website at hand, where they can showcase your listing using enhancements such as videos, virtual tours, and more.

Save yourself the trouble of going it alone and invest in the expertise of a listing agent!
