To Sell or Not to Sell

Should you a Real Estate Agent?

Decide whether to sell at all
In a buyer's market, you may be better off renting your old place instead of selling. Weigh the cost of the mortgage and property taxes, plus the time you'll have to spend being a landlord
(you may consider a Leasing Agent for to handle if you choose this option), against the thousands of dollars you may lose by selling in a down market and the mounting equity you'll be able to keep instead. There are capital-gains tax issues at play, do your research and consult with your accountant.

Our RE/MAX Time Agents will help you explore all of your options with a FREE consultation.

Decide whether to use an agent
If you sell your home by yourself, you can pocket the amount you would have spent on the agent's commission -- as much as 6 percent to 7 percent. (But keep in mind that if your buyer uses an agent, you will still have to pay that agent's commission, which would be half that total.) It seems like an attractive bargain to go it alone, no?

Our RE/MAX Time Office is offering a 25% Rebate to those who qualify (offer is expiring 12/31/2010)

Well, no. Unless you're well-connected, knowledgeable about the local real estate market, and savvy about negotiations and feel comfortable creating your Real Estate Contract(and you may be), an agent's fee will pay for itself.
