Now is a very good time to sell your Rochester home, but I want to advise you that trying to sell it on your own is not a wise idea. Selling your home is a full-time job, and that's why you should leave it up to a professional.

Here are a few reasons why I don't think it's a good idea for you to sell on your own:
  • Real estate agents maximize the sale price of your home by exposing it through multiple mediums and channels. This results in top dollar for your home.
  • Agents also know the legal ramifications of contracts that you'll be signing, and without one you could be stuck in a very bad situation where you may be forced to sell your home for a price you don't like, or to a buyer that you don't approve of.
  • Realtors also have a broad knowledge about title insurance, seller disclosures, inspections, financing, and much more.
  • Your time is very valuable, so instead of using your own time and money to sell a home, why not let a professional do it for you? When you let an agent sell your home you have a good chance of making a profit from a sale. 
  • Real estate transactions can be emotional and stressful. Using an agent can help to take away the stress of selling and an agent also helps you make decisions with your head instead of your heart. 
  • You will sell your home quicker and for more money when you use a real estate agent. The longer your home sits on the market, the less money you will get for it, so it's important that you sell quickly if you want to get top dollar.

Hopefully you'll think twice about selling your own home because I've seen a lot of people try do it without a lot of success.
