By Matt Tucker:
Several weeks ago, I purchased a car to tinker around with. I convinced my wife that we should purchase the car because it was inexpensive, and I would do all of the repairs & maintenance myself.
So far, my DIY experience has been abysmal. Whenever I fix one thing, I break two. Whenever I think that I can do something cheaper than a mechanic does, it costs me more and eats up a bunch of my time. Ultimately, it is a lot of trial and error accompanied by frustration.
Just like I decided to fix my own car, there are many people who decide to sell their own home. Most likely they CAN sell their home. Just like I CAN fix my car. But at what cost of time, money and frustration? A good realtor has the know-how and tools to get your home sold for the most money, in the least amount of time. Just like a good mechanic, a good realtor also helps identify both issues and their solutions early in the game, so that errors are minimized along with your stress levels.
Save yourself the hassle, and always use a good realtor when buying or selling your home. Save your friends the hassle, and make sure they are recommended to a good realtor. We would love to speak with them about the value we provide.
