In a strong real estate market as we are in right now, some sellers believe you can just put a sign out in front and their home will sell. That may be true, however there is greater potential that they may lose money in the long run. Currently in the market 25% (based on local title company stats) of all contracts are not making it to closing and are falling out of contract for different reasons. All the more reason to hire an experienced real estate broker to assist you with you transaction. There are several factors and checkpoints in any transaction -
- Exposure to potential buyers
- Getting in to the MLS
- Multiple negotiations
- Contract and legal issues
