The Benefits of Using Realtors and Agents?

Hello everyone, I was considering using an agent to list my property what is the
percentage they charge for residential and what’s the main benefits of using them to
sell your property?

I usually see them charging a 10% commission east of the Mississippi, and 6% west of the Mississippi.

I have no idea why it changes from one side of the country to the other, but that’s been my experience so far.

If you don’t find a good agent that actually specializes in land, you might be worse off than trying to sell it yourself, honestly. It’s worth the effort to find a good one, though, because the right one can make your life a lot easier.

There’s an article on RETipster that talks about this a bit.

Thanks for mentioning that, @donyost!

Also @Rob_G, if you’re out shopping for land agents, remember to check out our directory. All of these names were submitted by other members of the REtipster Community.

And of course, if you find a good one that belongs on this list and they aren’t already there, be sure to add them through this form! We’re always looking for new ones with a good track record of doing good work for land investors.
