Why Pay a Commission?

Homeowners attempting to sell their home without the assistance of a real estate professional generally do so for one reason and one reason only:  to avoid paying a commission fee.   Is it worth it?  Only the homeowner can answer that, but experience has shown that many "for sale by owner" sellers find it is not.  Before making a costly mistake, consider the benifits, from A to Z, you receive  from working with a trained real estate professional:

Advertising - The agent pays for all advertising costs and spends the time putting the advertising together

Bargain - Research shows that approximately 75% of sellers felt their commission was well spent
