A few thoughts; a world class real estate agent can save you a LOT of worry, time and money. In my experience, around 9 out of 10 real estate agents approach the business as a hobby. You have to go through quite a few interviews to locate a WINNER. My former agent had assembled her own TEAM of winners, lawyers, title clerks, bankers, notaries, etc. She had the business of real estate sales down to a science.
