Dc Fawcett complaints on listing agents

• Do not choose an agent based on the commission. Often sellers choose an agent with lowest commission and his house stays in the market unsold for a long time.

• Do not overprice your property; make an assessment from various agents and professionals to fix a price. If you find your listing agent price is highest, then he is trying to betray you.

• Sellers usually save their dollars by not hiring an agent but that myth fails because a seller will almost spend same or more amount to sell his house like escrow, inspection and lawyers.

Pros of having a listing agent

• Helps out in marketing and advertising on web.
• Using pictures taken in various angles to promote in property portals.
• Showing your property to potential buyers. Saves times for seller.
