Is it worth the expense to use a real estate agent?
Real estate agents typically receive commissions between 5 and 7 percent of the
final sales price. The average sales price for a single-family home is $177,000 -
an average commission of $10,600. Keep in mind that agents are not attorneys, they
are simply middle-men, connecting you with the necessary
experts, as well as providing
some marketing exposure (while also marketing themselves in the process).
By selling your property yourself and with some smart
advertising, you could potentially
receive $10,000 more in profit from the sale by not using an agent. Think of the things
you could do with an additional $10,000:
- a down payment
- a deck on your next home
- other financial investments
- pay-off college loans
- buy a car
- a European vacation or cruise
So, who's more deserving of the $10,000 - an agent or you? After all it's your money, why give
it to someone else?
Last year, over 1 million homes were sold without an agent or broker.
That's 20% of all home sales in the U.S. Over 1 million sellers and
1 million buyers negotiated real estate without an agent - you can too!
