Do I need an agent to sell?

[Kate J.]

Hi All! 

I am licensed RE agent, but I don't have experience in sales at all. Well, to be more precise all my purchases and sales I did for myself. So it is kind of limited experience. In all my sales I was dropping the house/condo to the market and other agents were bringing the buyers. I wonder if this is the best strategy to sell. What are the advantages of having top agent to take care of the sale? I would have to give up my 2.5%, but is there any chance that it will sell for more? Are there any other tricks then just listing the house and wait? Please share your ideas on this matter, and thank you in advance
