Why skip the real estate agent
Did you know that – Over 30% of all the homes sold in the United States in the last year were sold by owner.
Many people will try to sell their own homes initially – then when they get discouraged or grow tired of real estate brokers calling them at all hours, will ultimately give in, and list their home with a FSBO website. Or even worse after their home has been on the market for months and the MLS listing expires they go FSBO.
In the last few years it has become increasingly popular to skip the real estate agent completely and sell your own home privately. Just think how much money you can save eliminating those commissions, $7,000 – $20,000? It’s easier to do this in a hot market however it is all relative and can be accomplished under any market conditions. With all the discount and flat fee agencies opening up it seems that real estate agents have seen the light, or the end coming?
So when you have your home for sale privately and your “friendly neighborhood real estate agent ” stops by and goes into his unsolicited presentation about how great his company is and what they can do for you. Perhaps you can ask yourself, does this guy really believe what he is saying or have you mistaken the twinkle in his eyes for dollars signs?
