SELLERS INFORMATION 

Why do the overwhelming majority of home sellers today hire a Real Estate Company, rather than take on the full time task themselves? Property Owners feel that it is better to entrust the sale of their biggest investment to a full time professional, rather than attempting to learn about selling property in a trial and error method. In addition, many people would rather use an Agent and their Professional network of contacts, due to the complexities of today’s Real Estate market. Many successful closings involve legal and financial complexities which can be easily be more easily handled by a professional who has done it before.

Other advantages of working with an Agent that property sellers mention include: access to the local CCAR Multiple Listing Service, so that large numbers of buyers will have access to see the seller's property, the fact that the Agent, not the owner absorbs all of the cost of advertising and marketing, and the financial screening that will be done of potential buyers . Often overlooked is that the Agent handles the small emotional details which often occur during negotiations.

Deciding whether to use an Agent or not has a great deal to do with what you feel the level of your capabilities are. If you feel fully confident that you can handle all of the details, and can be available full time to show your home to buyers, then you may well want to attempt selling your house on your own. If not, you will want to use an Agent and leave the details to them.

Before working with a Licensed Real Estate agent you may want to familiarize yourself with some of the documents that you may be asked to help complete and then sign. The state of South Carolina has for several years followed a rule of law that "protects the public"; this means that the Real Estate Agent is required to inform you of the laws and then ask you to sign documents attesting to this fact. There should be no fear on your part in doing this, in fact you should wonder about an agent who "does not" inform you. This process not only establishes how the agent and you will work together, but protects both of you down the road as the sales process moves forward.

These links provide the documents and in some cases explanations from the State of South Carolina how they should be used. Taking the time NOW will allow you and your agent of choice to work together for your mutual goals.
