Should I Use An Agent Or Sell On My Own

Sometimes, life is all about choices. Choosing the right car, a good school, or even something as simple as what to make for dinner.

However, when it comes to selling your home, there could be choices in which you may not feel too comfortable making the decisions. For instance, if you decided to sell your home, and a potential buyer asked you about the average price of home sales in your neighborhood – would you have the answer?

A realtor can assist of course in the sale of your home, and can also help you find a new home. They can answer any questions about the process of selling your home, comparative market values of other homes in your neighborhood, schedule open houses, assist with moving and much more. If you choose to list your home for sale with a realtor, it will be listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), allowing your home to be readily accessible by real estate agents throughout the United States and assisting in a quick sale in most cases.

School Is Almost Out – Now What

School is almost out for the summer. Within the next couple of weeks, the ice cream trucks will be ringing their bells in neighborhoods across Bucks County, kids will be playing in each other’s yards, and the quietness you’ve experienced in your development will be temporary filled with laughter and the sounds of children playing.

Summer is wonderful. It’s filled with not only the sounds of children playing and laughing, but the scents of bbq’s each night, splashing in pools, the smell of freshly cut lawns, and the gorgeous colors of flowers in bloom.

It also means relaxation – summer is a time many of us get to enjoy time as a family, either for a vacation or just a quick getaway on the weekends. We are located so close to the Jersey shore, it’s very easy for all of us to enjoy some time on our local beaches. Bucks County is near the Pocono mountains, which are perfect for camping and hiking, not to mention many of the great amusement parks in our area such as Great Adventure and Hershey Park!

I hope you take the time this summer to enjoy some relaxation, take a well-deserved dip in the pool (especially after the winter we all experienced), and spend some time with your families and loved ones.
