Thinking about selling your home on your own to save on commission? Think again. Data shows that homes sold with a real estate agent neted nearly 15% more than those sold by owners. That’s potentially tens of thousands of dollars left on the table.
With today’s housing market offering more inventory than we’ve seen in years, a DIY approach is riskier than ever. Buyers are more selective, competition is fierce, and selling a home requires more than just listing it online.
A successful sale today depends on:
-
Accurate pricing based on market analysis
-
Expert staging to make your home shine
-
Professional marketing that reaches the right buyers
-
Strong negotiation skills to maximize your return
Most FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers don’t bring all these tools to the table. In fact, Zillow reports that 21% of FSBO sellers eventually hire an agent after struggling to sell on their own.
Why risk leaving money on the table? If you want to sell your home for top dollar without the stress, an experienced agent can guide you through the process, ensuring your home sells right the first time.
