Why Most Sellers Hire a Real Estate Agent in Today’s Market

Thinking About Selling Your Home?

If you're preparing to sell your home, you may be wondering: Is it worth hiring a real estate agent? In today’s fast-paced and competitive market, the answer is a resounding YES.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 86% of home sellers chose to work with a real estate professional in 2023—and that number is climbing. Here’s why working with a trusted real estate advisor is more important than ever.

Why the DIY Route Often Falls Short

The home selling process today involves far more than listing on Zillow or placing a “For Sale” sign in the yard. From accurate pricing to marketing, paperwork, negotiations, and inspections — each step requires experience and strategy.

As a trusted real estate advisor, I’ve helped many sellers navigate these complexities, saving them time and maximizing their profit.

What I Can Offer as your Trusted Real Estate Advisor:

Expert Pricing Strategy

I use real-time local market data to set a competitive and realistic price for your property. This helps you attract serious buyers without leaving money on the table.

Wide Exposure & Targeted Marketing

Your listing will benefit from professional photography, online platforms, social media advertising, and exposure through my trusted Engel & Völkers network — reaching the right buyers fast.

Skilled Negotiation

Negotiating multiple offers, inspection requests, and contract terms requires precision. I ensure you get the best deal while protecting your interests every step of the way.

Stress-Free Selling Experience

From staging advice to handling all paperwork and deadlines, I manage the details so you can focus on your move and what comes next.

Selling With Confidence

When you partner with a Pittsburgh real estate expert, you gain more than a listing agent — you gain a strategic advisor, marketer, and negotiator. Homes sold with an agent often go for more and sell faster than those sold by owner.
