Why hire a real estate agent?

Why hire a real estate agent to sell your home when the market is so hot?

Last month I had a seller who said he would be happy getting $420k for his home. After market review, staging, listing and marketing the property, I listed for $435k and then I negotiated a contract for $470k with appraisal protection.

The seller made an extra $50,000 by hiring me. Do you think I was worth it?
