LV. We made an appointment with her with little idea about what we would get from the house or the kind of trouble we had to go through this time. She totally surprised us when she came to visit the property. She immediately identified the strengths and weaknesses of the property and told us what to do to deal with them. She told us at our first meeting what the listing price of the house should be and why, higher than we expected. Most impressively, she quickly identified all the small things that we could easily take care. It was a long list of (low-cost) details in and around the property that made a dramatic difference to the property in less than two weeks, with low-cost. 70% of those would not be realized by us or most owners if she did not indicate them. Who would imagine a cheap set of yard table and chair, as well as a hose in the backyard, would make the house appear so much more inviting and livable? She recommended an amazingly efficient but cheap handyman (who always works with her and is entirely reliable) as well. Michelle handled the marketing part so well next, and we left LV in great relief and certainty that everything would be fine in their hands. They still surprised us one more time: only three weeks after the house was listed, they told us they found a buyer that would pay a price close to the listing price. We are in the closing process currently. If only we deal with real estate in LV in the future, it will only be through them!

FAQs for real estate service projects in Taylor Ridge, IL
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.
