You may be able to sell your house without hiring a realtor, though the process can be long and stressful. But there’s a reason you should consider hiring a licensed professional real estate agents – a few reasons, in fact! Here’s why you should entrust your property to an experienced pro.
- Getting Your License Is Hard Work – it takes between three and six months to obtain a real estate license and begin assisting customers with buying and selling their homes. That may not seem like a long time, but the process isn’t as simple as you might think. In addition to completing a pre-licensing course, a prospective realtor must pass a written exam and pass a background check before they’re able to start working with customers. Is it easy to pass the exam? As a matter of fact, California’s real estate exam is known to be one of the most difficult in the country, with a pass rate of roughly 50% as of 2024.
- A Realtor Can Get You the Best Deals – A licensed real estate agent has the best idea of what home-buying programs and incentives are available for you based on your particular situation. There are plenty of national and state programs meant to help prospective homeowners find the right place, and without the help of a professional you could be missing out – and paying a lot more for that property than you really need to.
- A Real Estate Agent Can Find the Best Buyers for Your Property – Selling rather than buying? A licensed real estate agent is still a must! A realtor can help identify any work or modifications your home might need to make it sale-ready and maximize its value. They can also make sure that only the best prospective buyers are viewing your property, ensuring that you get the best bids from qualified house hunters.
- A Real Estate Agent Saves You Time – shopping for a home can require a lot of legwork. Do you really have the time to trawl online listings for days on end in the hopes of finding your dream home? A pro will have the best access to information on the local housing market, and save you the time of visiting any duds or homes that are outside your budget, saving you precious time and effort. Trust a real estate agent to find you the most choice properties.
