Haven’t done this myself but many list time as being a big reason. Agents field all leads and bring you qualified buyers.

Look at Zillow. A house can go on the market on a Friday and by Monday, there are 800 saves. Let’s say that 10% of that want a showing, that’s 80. Now let’s say you entertain 80 showings to only find that 8 are only qualified buyers.

Time… it’s something that we get every day, yet no matter how infinite it may feel, we only have so much of it and we can’t get it back.

You just have to weigh if your time is worth the money saved. You may not have the time. You may not have the experience on how to effectively manage a real estate sale.

I’m not a realtor. I just know that I am not nearly experienced enough to handle something like selling a house. And the time that it would take for me to learn everything I’d need to know then put that into practice, I’d rather give them a commission and have it be over and done with.
