A real estate agent can sell your home better

You can sell your home without a real estate agent. However, people generally try to do this to avoid the agent's fee but find it costs them much more in the long run than they would have paid to the agent. A real estate agent selling your home increases both the chance of it selling quickly and of it selling for more. 

A real estate agent can help you buy a home faster

You can buy a home without a real estate agent, but you will find the process will likely be much more difficult. In fact, you may start to see the problem of trying to buy without an agent right away. As soon as you start calling on houses you are interested in seeing, you will likely find that most agents won't really take you seriously or show much interest in showing you the home if you don't have an agent. A large part of why this happens is due to the fact that agents learned early on that people without agents are often lookie-loos who will waste their time and aren't even ready to buy. There are many other ways an agent makes the buying process easier as well. They are pros at listening to what people want and narrowing the search down to help them find the right home quickly. 

A real estate agent can manage your rentals

If you have rental units then a real estate agent may be able to take over all of the managerial tasks for you. Some real estate agents do everything from getting the units ready for rent and getting good renters in them to collecting the rent on your behalf each month and taking care of all of the maintenance issues. When you have an agent taking care of your rental units, you won't have to worry about taking care of any of the many things that they tend to require and this allows you to reap the benefits of having rentals without all of the frustration the daily operations can cause.
