Tony vs. A traditional real estate agent
Listing agent
Hiring a real estate agent in NJ or NY means listing the house, fixing it up, showing it, negotiating offers, and waiting on the buyer's mortgage. The process averages 3-6 months and costs 5-6% commission. For some sellers — move-in-ready house, no time pressure, no condition issues — this nets the highest sale price. For most others, it's slower, more expensive, and more uncertain than calling Tony.
