Real estate agents make a comeback on the Internet
A few years ago Internet commerce was supposedly all about eliminating the middle man and connecting buyers and sellers. One of the occupations most likely to go away? Real estate agent. However, quite a few sellers wishing to rely on the Internet only found themselves receiving ridiculously low offers and therefore went back to real estate agents, MarketWatch reports:
Many sellers have come to realize they’re better off with the services of agents armed with the best possible marketing schemes they can find, either online or off. Sellers also benefit from neighborhood expertise agents bring when pricing their homes. Buyers use the local expertise to find the right home, and they depend on an expert’s skills at the negotiation table.
