If you are trying to sell your house, you should seriously consider using a real estate agent. When you have an agent help you, it will benefit you in every way except for the commission you will have to pay. The commission is probably the #1 reason why some people forgo an agent and try to sell their house on their own even though they are not qualified. Saving money is usually a good idea but in this case it may not be.

You have to do as much as possible in today's economy to make your house attractive to buyers and get it sold. There are more sellers than buyers in the market now, and, since this trend is likely to continue for a while, buyers can get away with being demanding and finicky.
