â€Sales agents are hardworking individual because their aim is to sell your property.

Cons:

â€Sales agents may not know much about the property that you are too familiar with. After all, it is your property.
â€Sales agents may not be there when the buyer will have complains about the property sold. Sales agents are good as selling the property only. Some unethical sales agents would even give sales pitches that are not real. When the deal is closed and there seemed to be a promise of the agent that is not fulfilled, it is possible that the buyer will run to the owner of the property to express the complaints.
