I have to agree with Ruddstudd here. The vast majority IMO are a waste of space, generally clueless and full of merde. Not saying they are all bad but I will go as far as saying there are a lot of idiots out there.
No reason why if like anything the house is priced right with comparables, showed right and open houses are timed with others in your area that you can't do it yourself.
Troutman, as for the 16% that agents are supposed to get more in value for a house I personally would be skeptical of the sources and methodologies and who commissioned said report.
Of course they can list it for 50k more just like a house on our street that sat on the market all summer and remained unsold. Hey at least she got the listing.
