Mike Chisling saved me from a costly FSBO mistake

I have always been skeptical of real estate agents. Why would you surrender such a large part of your proceeds for somethinhg you can do yourself? But when I tried to market my house myself, the offers I received were disappointing. I asked Mike for advice, and he told me that I was shooting myself in the foot by seeking cash offers. I had been under the mistaken impression that an as-is sale would not qualify for a mortgage, but Mike explained that is only the case for FHA-backed loans. He guaranteed that he could hit my target price even after accounting for his commission and closing costs. I know Mike as a man of his word, so I signed the listing agreement. Four months later, we closed for 50 percent more than my highest previous offer and 20 percent more than my target price. That fat wad of cash in the bank takes the sting out of admitting I was wrong about agents: Mike was worth every penny. He knows his stuff and can explain it in layman's terms. He's communicative and always available. If you're buying, selling or renting property on the Treasure Coast, Mike Chisling's your guy.
