What is your time and effort worth to you? This is important to consider when thinking about selling your house yourself. If you’ve already got a busy life and career, it may be hard to also take on the work involved in listing and selling your Norman house.
If for example photographing, preparing, and listing your house takes you 30 hours, and you figured you would “pay” yourself a reasonable hourly wage, that is worth hundreds of dollars. Consider just how much time a full-service agent locally working in Oklahoma can save you, and it is clear why an experienced agent may be a great option for you. Research has shown that a local agent in Norman can help to sell your house up to 20 days faster and for an average of 13% more. This makes it clear why plenty of home sellers all over Norman choose to work with a local agent such as Hagan Home Team.

Less Stress, More In Your Pocket, Peace Of Mind…
When selling your Norman Oklahoma house there are three important factors to consider. Once you ponder these things, you can choose the best method for you and your house.
- The true costs: People will typically consider commission when deciding whether to work with an agent or not. When you work with the best Norman real estate agents, the agent you chose is your expert and professional working to get you the best service possible. If your inspection turns up more repairs, your buyer bails on you, or your contract is worded strangely, you are covered. We have years of experience and will guide you through selling. You are not only getting our guidance during closing, but also ahead of time too.
- Your time commitment: Are you ready to be very involved in every minute detail that selling your house will take? The commitment can run the gamut from photography, clean-up, open houses, and listing all the way to closing and legalese. You’ve also got escrow to deal with and signage. This will save you the 2-3% commission you’d pay otherwise, but costs lots of your time and effort! We’d encourage you to leave the hard work to the experts here at Hagan Home Team so that you don’t have to deal with it yourself.
- The “experience factor”: So many things can delay your sale or cause you to not receive offers. Work with us, and we can guide you around those many pitfalls which will save you thousands of dollars.

** Both the Northwestern and the Stanford studies mentioned in the Money section confirm just that: “The use of a broker does lead to an accelerated sale. In that respect, brokers appear to add value,” the Stanford researchers declared. The Northwestern study found that it takes on average 20 days longer to sell a house on a FSBO site versus the MLS or an agent.
