If you have ever wondered why it’s better to work with an agent rather than listing “by owner,” you aren’t alone. Superficially, selling a home seems easy – until you actually try it. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we have seen that nearly 80% of people give up and list with an agent after months of costly and time-consuming delay. The reason why agents matter more than ever is that showing homes, answering calls, responding to email, scheduling inspections and appraisals plus much more are time consuming tasks and delays that can cause a deal to fall through even at the last moment. Not only do agents know how to price your home right and grab the attention of prospective buyers, but many of them have an established list of buyers waiting for specific types of properties.

Finally, it is important to remember that real estate agents split commissions between the listing agent and the selling agent. To attract attention to your home it is still necessary to split the commission with any agents who bring buyers to the table. Working with a real estate agent is likely to save you money over the long run.
