Some people believe that you don't need to hire a professional in this market, that a house can essentially sell itself. To a certain extent, this is true. You could place a sign in your yard or sign up with a limited service broker, and your house could sell. 

But at what cost? Our feedback and research suggest that hiring a professional will bring you more buyers who write cleaner offers and for a higher price. 

The good news for you is that it is a free market. You have many agents and models to choose from, and you get to choose the agent and the model that are the best fit for you.
