Anyone can sell their property on their own, if they choose to.
Sometimes it makes sense to involve an agent, especially if you don’t want to deal with showings, buyers, or paperwork. Convenience has value.
But it’s always worth asking one simple question:
Is it worth 6%?
Examples:
• On a $500,000 sale, that’s $30,000
• On a $1,000,000 sale, that’s $60,000 paid at closing
For some people, the answer is yes.
For others, it’s worth slowing down, doing the math, and considering a different direction.
