The following is what you may fall victim to if you decide to sell your home without a responsible and knowledgeable agent:

• Lookers who want to see your wallpaper
• Calls at inconvenient times
• Sometimes, you are unavailable
• Incorrect pricing - too high or too low
• Separating real buyers from tire kickers
• Are interested parties financially qualified?
• Strangers checking out your valuables
• Transferees will not be exposed to your home
• Follow-up on showings - if YOU call, the buyer perceives anxiety
• Negotiating contracts - what's reasonable and customary and what's not?
• The paperwork of property transfer
• Legal issues and seller disclosure
• Buyers who want to save the same commission dollars you want to save
• Buyers who won't deal with owners
• Every real estate agent in town calls to ask you for the listing
