Your realtor is an expert in pricing homes in your area. They work hard in tracking the market to see what effects the home value. As a result, your agent will make sure your house is listed at an attractive price to buyers but still a strong price as a seller. This will get rid the emotional aspect in how much you THINK your home is worth. On the other end, some homeowners price their homes too low. An unbiased opinion from your realtor can help maximize your sale price.

Realtors not only study the price of the market but they know what image sells. Maybe you need to upgrade a few items or invest in a new roof. Your realtor knows the trends and will pick the necessary fashions to sell your home.
