Not a lot in my experience. They can be expensive, but, they are professional salespeople and might do a better job that you.
Cheers :-)

It depends on a lot of factors!
1. Your knowledge and familiarity with all the things you need to know about selling your own property!
2. How to market your property. Making it more attrative to potential buyers.
3. The propertys accessibility to market. the old location, location, location
Then there's the motivation and knowledge of the sales agent. Believe me sometimes they're not a lot of help. Most at this time require a fee of 6 percent of sales price.
You really have to weigh these factors to determine if the price is worth the benefits of having a sales agent.

A real estate agent is knowledgeable about your area, the comparables, and how to price and stage your home. They also have a huge network of realtors to draw from through the MLS and having your home on the virtual tours. These days very few people will look at a home if they haven't seen the virtual first. Many people are re-locators and wouldn't know about your home if they hadn't viewed it on the net. Homeowners are not subjective which makes it difficult for potential buyers to walk through the home and make comfortable assessments. We just went through this process and couldn't have done it without our realtor. Our home sold in 8 wks.
