Real estate is not rocket science, in fact in some respects selling real estate is simple. There is however a big difference between simple and easy. Someone once told me many years ago that skydiving is simple. It's just a matter of falling. Yes it is simple, but it is not easy. Would you skydive without some instruction and training? Not likely.

 

Same with buying and selling your home. Yes the process can be simple. However it is anything but easy - especially in the Calgary Real Estate market we are currently experiencing. It is a Buyer's market which means selling your home requires a great deal of skill and effort.

 

Ultimately, a good Realtor's® greatest value comes from being able to guide you safely through the sale or purchase process. The average home owner may only purchase and sell three or four houses in a lifetime.

 

In the 8+ years I have been in real estate, I have closed numerous transactions representing both buyers and sellers. Every sale has taught me valuable lessons that I use to help guide my home owners and home buyers.

 

Every transaction has enabled me to improve my negotiating skills and allowed me to close deals that otherwise seemed impossible to work.

 

Can you sell or buy privately? Of course. However, only do so if you have the skills and talents learned through years of experience. Otherwise call someone who works at these skills day in and day out.
