"Anjali is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with. My husband and his sister are experiencing health issues and we decided to sell our current home and relocate further north so our families could be closer. We were very cautious as we did not know any realtors in our area. After one online contact, she continued to follow up with emails showing us homes that had sold in our area and pricing trends. There was absolutely no pressure. When we felt the time was right, we called her and set up an appointment. We were very nervous about listing our home as we had not found a home we wanted to purchase yet. She assured us that there are many ways to work around this and it would not be an issue. She not only assisted our family from out of state in purchasing a new home in Florida, but also sold our previous home in 3 days at $40K over the listing price! We were able to use a lease back option which allowed us more time to find a new home. She then helped us purchase our home located within minutes of our family’s home. The purchase price was close to $30K less than the original listing price! Anjali is professional, trustworthy, detail-oriented and responsive to your needs. She is a terrific negotiator and always has your best interests in mind. At the same time, she is so easy to talk to and has a such positive and caring attitude – not to mention a wonderful sense of humor. She truly makes you feel like you are family! She stays on top of all the details and is very quick to respond so you can concentrate on packing and planning the logistics of your move. We cannot say enough about how great she is and highly recommend her to anyone needing professional real estate assistance."

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
