Even when the housing market feels like a seller’s market, it is important for homeowners to weigh their options carefully. Oftentimes, homeowners think they can make more when they sell with a real estate agent. While it’s true that you might reach a higher market price, are you really getting more in your pocket?

Of course, a higher number is always attractive. However, it’s important to do the math and be thorough. Often, the traditional home selling route requires a lot of expenses people don’t really consider.

Additionally, this route often requires a lot of patience.

•   First, you prepare your house for the market and work with a photographer.
•   Then, your agent starts to show the home to prospective buyers.
•   Eventually, you find a buyer, but they need to work with an appraisal.
•   Next, you have to address any concerns they uncover.
•   If everything pans out, you have to wait for them to secure financing.

In some cases, this happens pretty quickly. However, the average home sale in the area takes anywhere from three to six months, if not longer. Don’t forget that you have to maintain the property and cover utilities throughout this time in case the deal falls through.

When you add it all up, the costs really cut into that high price. That doesn’t even take agent commissions and fees into account.
