Should you sell your home yourself? 

At REALTY EXECUTIVES we feel that most people can benefit from the knowledge and skills of a licensed Real Estate professional when selling their homes.  However, some people may have a reason for selling their own home.  For example: 

A home owner who has only been in their home for a very short time may not be able to sell their home and realize a profit if they must pay a commission to a Realtor. 

Someone who paid little or no down payment when they bought their house may also find they have not earned  enough equity or profit in their home to make a down payment on their next home. Or, you may have sold lots and lots of houses and have plenty of expertise of your own!
