6. Working alone

It might be tempting for you to want to work alone on this project, but selling a home all by yourself is not the wisest choice. Maybe you think that in the end, you will have more money because you are paying no commission, but remember that you don’t know the market like a real estate agent does.

Actually, most people have zero knowledge about the market and how home selling works. This can mean losing a lot of money. And we are sure that you don’t want that. After all, you want to get the best deal, right?

Remember that a real estate agent is the key to a less stressful and more successful home sale. So, never work alone, and trust us when we tell you that even if you pay those commissions, things will turn out so much better.

If you want to learn more about how to sell your home, you can start with the following book: Selling Your House For Dummies
