A National Association of REALTORS®  study determined that sellers can realize as much as 10% more on the sale of their home when they rely on a professional real estate agent to handle all aspects of their transaction.
    

  Real estate professionals are knowledgeable about your  local real estate market and can easily determine through a comprehensive market analysis how to reach the best fair market price for your home in the desired time frame.

        Additionally, a real estate agent can help you save money by avoiding legal pitfalls. They are directly involved and keep you informed as to the results of each action and what effect, if any, it will have on the sale of your property. They coordinate any actions you must take and continue to keep your sale moving forward all the way to "closing".
