a better artist than an agent when comes to selling property. MISTAKE #7—DETAILS There are plenty of blunders to be made when selling your own property without professional support. You need to be available for all contacts, set up all of the home showings, and answer a host of questions. There is much to do. The house itself needs to be clean and free of unnecessary furniture, pets, and personal objects. It might even be a good idea, if you have any, to find somewhere else for the kids to be. Real estate agents have experience dealing with all of that. They present houses on a daily basis, all year long. Where you, as a private owner/seller, might stumble, they will succeed. Again, they have extensive training and long histories of experience in the field. As a rule, they are familiar with all of the mistakes and problems that might occur to complicate the process. They know how to dress up the risks, take advantage of the loopholes, and avoid the downsides of the deal, since it’s in their best interest to do so. Real housing market knowledge and professionalism is something you can only achieve through training and experience.
