Do I really need to hire a real estate agent?
No, you do not need to hire a real estate agent. However, hiring an experienced real estate agent can help you get the best deal whether you are selling or buying and avoid deal headaches. A good real estate agent can help you negotiate through unexpected challenges that can complicate the deal. Acting in your best interest, real estate agents can alert you to potential issues, recommend or negotiate on your behalf to complete your sale or purchase. Experienced real estate agents are subject matter experts and based on the deal they can be worth more than the commission they are paid.
