Jay Quigley says 91% of homeowners now hire agents to sell. With more homes on the market, you need precise pricing, strong marketing, and negotiation skills to avoid a prolonged listing. Agents are essential, not optional.
More homeowners are working with an agent than ever before. You can see it in the numbers. 91% of homeowners hire an agent to sell their home. That's a new all-time high, and there's good reason for that. This isn't the same housing market it was a few years ago. Now that there are more homes for sale, selling isn't as simple as putting a sign in the yard and watching buyers roll in. Pricing has to be dead on for today's market. Your marketing has to cut through more competition and negotiations matter more than they have in years. That's why people are realizing an agent isn't a nice to have. We're the difference between sitting on the market and getting the result that you want. So if you're thinking about selling, don't go at it alone. Work with somebody who knows how to win in today's shifting market.
Waiting for a major market shift in Tampa before selling may not be your best move.
