When you decide to sell your house, your first instinct is to hire a real estate agent. Of course, it’s what you see on TV and in the movies, right? By hiring a realtor, you can save yourself from the inconveniences of the process. Because somebody else will handle the sale for you, all you need to do is sit down and wait for the process to be complete.
Sure, working with an agent can remove you from some of the day-to-day responsibilities, but it doesn’t mean it’s without some disadvantages. Having a realtor as a middle person can prolong the sale process and can reduce the profit you will receive from the sale.
If you want to sell your house fast in St. Louis, St Charles, or any hot market, you might be better off dealing directly with a cash buyer, according to FasterHouse. Working with a cash buyer will erase the following negatives in the process:
Commission, Commission, Commission 
Having an agent sell your property entitles him or her a cut of your home’s total sale price. This could reach up to 6%, regardless of whether you make a profit or not. On the sale of a $100,000 house, the commission could total $6,000, and for some, paying this considerable amount is a bitter pill to swallow.
You’re Just Another Client 
Reality check: your house is not the only property your agent is trying to sell. The fact that your broker can’t give you his or her undivided attention means you have no guarantee the best is being done for you to sell your house favorably.
Open Houses Don’t Always Benefit You 
The purpose of holding an open house is to attract prospects and make connections with serious buyers. But in many cases, real estate agents use this opportunity to broaden their network. Without you there, there’s really no way to know if your agent has done enough to find you the right buyer because he or she might be busy recruiting other clients. And many looky-loo buyers trample through your home during an open house because they are nosey, not because they are serious buyers. Do you really want that invasion of your privacy?
Save yourself the time, hassle, frustration and expense of using a realtor and handle the sale yourself by working with a cash buyer.
