A real estate salesperson is more than just a sales person. They act on your behalf as your agent, providing you with advice and guidance and doing a job helping you buy or sell a home. While it is true they get paid for what they do, so do other professions that provide advice, guidance, and have a service to sell such as Certified Public Accountants and Attorneys

The Internet has opened up a world of information that wasn’t previously available to home buyers and seller. The data on listings available for sale is almost current but not quite. There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with an agent.

If you have a sound understanding of Real estate Law, online marketing techniques and strong negotiation skills you can consider selling your own home without a real estate agent.
