As you begin the process of selling your home you will find that there are many steps that you may not have considered. A real estate professional is highly trained in all areas of selling a home. For 99% of home sellers the benefits of using a real estate agent far outweigh the small comission fee they will pay.

If you are considering selling your home yourself you should consider the following questions:

• Do I have the time, energy, know how, and ability
  to devote a full forced effort to sell my home?
• Am I offering financing options to the buyer? Am I prepared to answer questions about financing?
• Am I prepared to deal with an onslaught of buyers who perceive FSBO's as targets for low balling?
• Do I have the capability or handling the legal contracts, agreements and any disputes with buyers before or after the offer is presented?
• Have I contacted the necessary professionals... title, inspectors (home, roof and septic),
  attorney, and escrow company?

These are just a few of the many duties that your agent performs every day. If you answered no to any of these questions, you need to use a real estate agent to assist in the sale of your home. At very least you should contact an agent to help you determine a reasonable listing price. Remember... this service is FREE to the homeowner!
