Selling your house is a lengthy process and trying to determine what approach to take can be complicated. However, it will be beneficial to look at all of the different ways to sell your house. 

There are different routes to take, you may choose to sell by owner, listing with a real estate agent, or sell to a cash buyer. You may find it helpful to do some quick research to determine the most profitable way to get your house sold, and quickly. 

The goal is to make the most money from your house. Let us break down some of the pros and cons for you.

Pros of Real Estate Agent 

• An agent will list the house, allowing it to be shown on multiple marketplaces. 
• Marketing is automatically done for you.
• Agents find potential buyers, show your house to them, and find the right buyer. 

Cons of Real Estate Agent

• Agents charge 5-6% of the home’s sale price.
• Time - Could take a long time before a buyer comes through.
•  Realtors negotiate the selling price. This will lower the price you were hoping to sell for. 
• Realtors will want you to make repairs and fix up the house to appeal to a potential buyer’s eye. This is costly and timely.

Pros of Selling on Your Own
