Why kiss realtor butt you may do better finding ways to make them look for you.
Though you can definitely sell your home yourself, it is not so easy. In our area it takes over 8 months on average to get a home sold and over half expire in our MLS before they sell. A Realtor spends their whole day buying and selling real estate, working with other people who do that all day too. I can't tell you how many of my sales came because I "pitched" someone's listing at a team meeting or realtor event and someone else had a client that wanted that kind of house. As with everything there are GREAT realtors and terrible realtors. Don't just pick anyone, get a referral from a trusted source.
