The buying and selling of a home are complex processes. You always have the option of doing this on your own, but your best bet is always to work with a local Realtor. As a seller, a real estate agent will list your home, advertise it, provide you with a lot of the legal documents you need, hold open houses, work with the buyer’s agent, and often fetch a higher price for your home than you could on your own. Listing your home on your own can take up a lot of your time, require a lot of effort, and you may not sell it for as much as it is worth. For buyers, hiring a Realtor shows sellers that you are serious about buying, are pre-qualified for a mortgage, allow you to have private showings, and often our services are at no cost to you. That is why you should always hire a real estate agent, like me, for any real estate transaction. Keep me in mind when you are looking to buy or sell a home in Midland, TX!
