| The decision about how to sell your home
seems to get more complicated every day. In a "buyer's market",
which is what we currently have in Northeast Florida, many homeowners
wonder if they can afford to pay a real estate commission to sell their
home. Statistically, a little less than 10% of owners who try to sell without professional assistance are successful. And homes sold by owner average about 11% lower in price than those sold through a full service real estate brokerage.

They advertise lower than average (there are no industry fixed rates by law) commissions or flat fees in exchange for you doing virtually all of the work - and that's not always disclosed before you sign an agreement. In real estate, as in most things, you usually get what you pay for. Hiring a full time, full service professional will almost always result in more money in your pocket and less emotional stress - an invaluable benefit. Agents and their companies vary significantly, just like any other business. Look for the right person first, then the services they offer and LAST, the prices they charge.
