• Fear of low appraisals — You have options if this happens-but going it alone without a listing agent, you won't be aware of all your options • Stress of showings, remodels, cleaning, phone calls — Let your agent handle the bulk of the responsibilities of selling your home. • Facing appraisal requirements — Know what is expected for your home to pass. • Being prepared for closing — Your agent and your lawyer should let you know what to expect. • Flexibility and readiness to show your home — Make preparations, so showings do not interfere with your family and your life. If you have a full time job, you will miss most showings because most buyers look during working hours. • Letting buyers see your home in your absence — Buyers prefer to view homes without the seller present to listen to their critiques. Any questions should be fielded by your agent. Another good reason to use an agent! • Weeding out non-qualified buyers — Real Estate agents strive to only work with qualified buyers. It is not ethical to show your home to a buyer who is NOT qualified. If they are not eligible, even for creative financing, it’s a waste of everyone’s time — especially yours.
