An agent does a great deal of work on your behalf and a good one is worth the commission you pay.
If your house is not sold then you may lose time and opportunity, but no cash, since your agent assumes the monetary risk of advertising.
Your agent will:
- help price your property correctly so you quickly get the best possible deal with a minimum of fuss
- provide professional advice to help you make your property as appealing as possible
- ensure the people who view your property have a genuine intention to purchase and can afford it
- arrange all appointments, manage showings, and protect your property and posessions
- provide advertising locally and on the internet through the Multiple Listing Service
- help you during negotiations to get the best possible price
- handle the paperwork and oversee the follow-up procedures and inspections for you
