If you're thinking about selling your home on your own, you may want to reconsider. Many sellers cite understanding and completing the paperwork as the most difficult part of going it alone. In real estate, there are a large number of documents, legal contracts, disclosure statements, and forms to sort through. And each one must be filled out correctly.
An expert in the selling process, your Texas REALTOR® can help you make sense of each document, and REALTORS® even have access to some forms not available to real estate agents who are not REALTORS®. In 2005, the median sales price for homes sold directly by their owners was $132,800, compared to $160,000 for agent-assisted sales. Are you willing to give up 17%? Hiring a Texas REALTOR® to walk you through every step of the home-selling process means your interests will be protected, and you'll make the most money.
