Well in case you didn’t see my comment, our house has been sold! As I already mentioned, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend our agent Allison Landon to anyone who is looking to sell their home. She worked very hard for us and the result was a sale within a very short time after listing with her.
I was against the whole Realtor thing from the beginning, I just didn’t like the idea of paying a whopping 5% to someone for basically sticking a sign on your lawn. Well I was wrong, a realtor does a lot more than that, or at least in Allison’s case she did.
The market we are in right now calls for the services of a realtor. If the market was as hot as it was a few years ago, we wouldn’t have needed any help in selling our house. In the future will I try selling privately again? If I’ve got the benefit of lots of time to wait, you bet I will. If I want to sell quickly then I’ll probably hire Allison again.
