Jean in Fuquay-Varina is wondering how a realtor determines what a home is worth and settle on a listing price. Angie explains that looking at accurate comparables of other homes will give some clarity on the home value. It’s important to work with a realtor who is experienced and can pull from their expertise in order to suggest the right list price. Comparables come from looking at similar homes in three categories: location, style, and age. 

Emily in Clayton asks how often she can expect to communicate with a realtor during the process. Angie’s and her team have a simplified process and understand what kind of communication needs to be made. They want clients to always know what’s happening and what’s next so you don’t have to sit with uncertainty. They do cater to the client’s communication needs and desires.

Maddie in Holly Springs says that with the home market so high right now, wouldn’t it be just as easy to do a for-sale-by-owner? Angie thinks this is a great question! The reality is, homes that are sold by a realtor on average will net 10 percent more (after commissions and fees!) than selling by owner. The agent adds a lot of value when it comes to marketing, exposure, and therefore, more potential offers. Not only that, but you won’t have to face the process alone. Sounds like a win-win, right?
