San Francisco Market - To List with a realtor or not to List with a realtor - that's the questions
Hi
As most of you know, it is very competitive market in San Francisco now and most properties get multiple offers and drive the price up. My property is in a great location and shows well so I don't think I will have a problem to sell it at or above asking price.
Realtor commission here are 4-5% and I would hate to pay 30k just to have a realtor take few pictures, list it on the MLS, and do one open house before getting multiple offers. I understand the benefits of listing a property with an agent but I think I can list it on sites such as Redfin, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist and the like and find a buyer in this market.
I've wrote multiple contracts in the past and I have good relationships with title companies that can guide me through the process without a realtor.
What do you think I should do? List it with a realtor or on my own?
