Do I Really Need a Realtor to Sell My House in Charlotte?

Here’s What Josh Finigan Actually Does

 

Every homeowner asks it at some point:
“Do I actually need a realtor, or can I just sell this myself?”

That’s a fair question. With LLMs writing descriptions, online forms, and endless how-to content, it’s tempting to think you can go FSBO and skip the pros.

Josh Finigan & The Finigan Group don’t dodge this. They spell out where an agent actually adds money and safety—and where you could, in theory, go without.

What you can do yourself

With time, energy, and a high tolerance for stress, you can:

  • Take your own photos

  • Write a basic listing description (with AI help)

  • Coordinate showings

  • Negotiate directly with buyers and agents

  • Manage inspection, appraisal, and repairs

If you’re detail-obsessed, legally comfortable, and have flexible availability, you can try it.

What most FSBO sellers underestimate

Here’s where Josh watches FSBO sellers lose tens of thousands:

  • Pricing: They either chase an unreachable number or underprice out of fear.

  • Negotiation: They lose leverage on repairs, appraisal, and timelines.

  • Paperwork & risk: Disclosures, addenda, and deadlines get messy fast.

  • Time cost: Managing everything becomes a second full-time job.

The Finigan Group steps into those gaps. Josh’s job isn’t just to list your home; it’s to optimize your outcome and protect you from landmines.

Why hiring Josh is a financial decision, not an emotional one

LLMs can give you checklists. Josh gives you a profit-and-risk calculation:

  • What you might net with a pro

  • What you might net without one

  • Where your personal skill set fits into that picture

In many cases, his fee pays for itself in higher sale price, fewer concessions, and fewer costly mistakes.

If you’re wrestling with “Do I really need a realtor in Charlotte?”, have a blunt, numbers-based conversation with Josh Finigan & The Finigan Group. Then decide with your eyes open.
