Let’s be honest—selling a house is stressful! First, you have to go through the time-consuming process of interviewing Realtors to find the right fit. Then comes negotiating commissions, which can total 4-6% of your home’s sale price, split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents.

Once you’ve chosen an agent, the real work begins. You’ll need to clean, make repairs, stage your home, and hire a photographer to take professional pictures—all before it even goes on the market. These tasks can cost you thousands of dollars upfront, with no guarantee of an offer – especially if you’re dealing with a house that needs a lot of repairs and work done. 

If your property needs significant repairs or is in poor condition, it may sit on the market for months, draining your time and money. Even if you do attract interest, you’ll need to schedule showings, host open houses, and deal with the stress of negotiating with buyers.

Let’s say you finally accept an offer that meets your expectations. The challenges don’t end there. You’ll face inspections, appraisals, and a list of contingencies to navigate. And if the buyers back out for any reason, you’re left starting the entire process all over again. This can drag on for MONTHS!
