Five Reasons You Should Hire a REALTOR® to Sell Your Home

If you’ve followed the red hot housing market over the past few years, and have noticed how quickly homes on the Mississippi Gulf Coast have been selling, you may be tempted to sell your home on your own. While the market is still a seller’s market, it is starting to turn a bit. 

As the market shifts, it becomes even more important to work with a trusted real estate advisor to sell your home. REALTORS®, like those at Expect Realty, are not only well-versed in the current market trends for selling a home in Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs or Long Beach, but they are also experts in all areas of selling your home and will help you in your decision making process. Here are five reasons why it’s best to hire a real estate agent. 

1. REALTORS® are Experts in Market Trends

Following the trends in the Mississippi Gulf Coast real estate market is part of a professional real estate agent’s job at Expect Realty. As the market shows signs of shifting back to pre-pandemic levels, an experienced REALTOR® can help you make informed decisions as they relate to the sale of your home. Having a trusted, informed advisor is crucial as rates fluctuate, home prices rise and more homes enter the market.     

2. Your Pool of Buyers Increases

Another benefit of using a professional real estate agent is marketing your home to a large pool of buyers. Agents at Expect Realty utilize a number of tools to sell your home, including the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), social media, and a wide network of connections throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As the number of people who see your home increases, the level of interest in your home also increases.   

3. Your Paperwork is Handled

Real estate professionals at Expect Realty deal with contracts, disclosures, reports, and all of the required documents involved in successfully completing real estate transactions in Mississippi on a daily basis. They are familiar with the current required disclosures and regulations, as well as terminology to ensure that paperwork is submitted accurately and on time. Prior to submitting, they will review paperwork with you to ensure all of your bases are covered.   

4. Your Negotiations are Taken Care of By Your Agent 

Instead of having to address the concerns of a buyer, their agent, inspectors, the appraiser and any other party, the responsibility of all negotiations falls on the shoulders of your  REALTOR®. Real estate agents at Expect Realty are trained professionals when it comes to negotiating terms in all facets of the sale of your home.  

5. Your Home Will be Priced Appropriately

When it comes to the sale of your home, establishing the right price point is one of the most important things to do. When a home is priced too high, potential buyers may be driven away. Priced too low and you may be leaving money on the table.  Your real estate agent is well-versed in the current market and can review comparable homes that have recently sold to look at your home through an unbiased eye to price your home accurately and competitively. 

Bottom Line
Trained real estate professionals like the agents at Expect Realty bring a wealth of experience and market insight to you as you prepare to sell your home. Using a real estate agent will help you attract prospective buyers to your home and sell it for top dollar. Don’t take the risks associated with selling your Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs or Long Beach home on your own. Contact a trusted REALTOR® at Expect Realty today for a consultation.
