A for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction requires time, know-how and confidence. If you’re not sure that you have all three, enlisting the services of an agent — a professional who knows the ins and outs of listing and selling homes successfully — pays off.

* Agents Avoid Emotional Sales

* Agents weed out unqualified buyers

* Agents negotiate price and contract contingencies

* Agents ensure all legal documents are used properly

* Agents market the property to their peers and sphere of influence to get more exposure

--and so much more!
