Thinking about selling your home yourself because you want the extra cash? Or have you found a discount broker that’s going to give you a cheap commission rate?

While that’s all well and good, in the long run, it might not be the best option. Take a look at some of the photos we found from a discount broker on our Capital Region MLS and compare those to the professional photos we take here at Monticello.
