When most people consider selling their homes, the first thing that comes to mind is typically calling a real estate agent. However, not all real estate agents are created equally. The difference between an average real estate and an experience Realtor with a proven track record could result in you losing or gaining hundreds and/or thousands of dollars. So read on as we explore four things you may not know about selling your home with an average agent
Costly
You may not know that the commissions can be expensive when you are selling your house with an average Chicago real estate agent. Whether you are living in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Naperville, Barrington, or the Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago, when you add the typical 6% broker commission to the other expenses involved with listing, including the prep work, marketing, and professional photography, it can take a big chunk of your profits from the sale. It is critical that you review each agent and find out exactly what they are willing to offer you besides just putting your house on the market. We encourage homeowners to review “Our Benefits” page to get a sense of some of the perks an experienced Realtor like Harry Zaman with a proven track record can offer.

Time-Consuming
The amount of time that could potentially pass while your home is on the market is another thing you may not know about selling your house with an average real estate agent. Regrettably, this information is not something the agent can provide you with, nor can they promise your home will sell. However, an experienced agent can put together a comprehensive market analysis which with targeting pricing recommendations that will help you better understand the realities of the market and help sell your house fast and for best possible price.

Multiple Ways to Sell Your Property
Something else you may not know about selling your house with an real estate agent is that other options can help you sell your home. For example, maybe the thought of vacating the premises repeatedly for showings during your dinner is not for you. Or, perhaps you have a mountain of repairs that need completion before listing, and you would rather not endure living in a construction zone or paying to repair and update a home you are leaving behind. Another solution to sell your home is through a direct sale for your house as-is. When working with an experienced Realtor, talk to them about the different ways you can potentially sell your house. If your house needs extensive repairs, does your Realtor have an extensive network of investors that might offer to buy your property as-is? Regardless of your personal scenario, you should work with a proven Realtor who has a variety of tools to help you sell your house.
For many homeowners, selling their home is a once in a lifetime transaction and you want to make sure you have an experienced Realtor who is able to provide multi-faceted value and provide a seamless real estate experience.
