So sellers are getting unprecedented pricing for their homes and some realtors are taking the credit. Is this just the market? Do realtors really have the ability to influence the pricing? The answer is No!
Everything sells at "Market Price".
However, a good realtor knows how to facilitate the same deal further to the sellers advantage and attain a higher selling price, compared to an inexperienced realtor. This is what sets the difference in realtors and why discounted real estate fees doesn't mean more money in the sellers pocket.
An experienced realtor, will professionally present the property, recommend professional staging, price it right and above all "Negotiate" the offer.
This allows the experienced agents to average a higher list to sell ratio compared to the inexperienced agents, netting more money in the sellers pocket. Choose your agent wisely, question their experience.
Don't base your decision on real estate fees.
