If you're thinking about selling your home, you might be wondering whether selling it yourself is the right thing to do. After all, you wouldn't have to pay an agent's commission if you were successful. Today, we'll explain why you're actually at a huge disadvantage when you do For Sale By Owner.

Why do homeowners who work with a real estate professional have an advantage? There are too many reasons to cover in today's blog, but you can find a detailed response to that question in my best-selling book, Cracking the Real Estate Code Volume II

In the book, we discuss the importance of hiring a real estate agent if you want to accomplish your selling goals. For starters, if you do For Sale By Owner (FSBO), you're only getting your home marketed to people who see your ad in the paper or on craigslist. 

If you work with a high-octane real estate agent or a real estate team, you will have the advantage of being exposed to the large pool of buyers they have access to. More importantly, you'll have access to the MLS, exposing your home to thousands of agents in the area as well. It's simple: if you want a successful home sale, the best way to accomplish your selling goals is to get maximum exposure for your home.  

If you went the For Sale By Owner route every time you moved, you might do three or four transactions throughout your lifetime. A good agent will close three or four transactions a week! They know all the ins and outs of the selling process and will help you with every step of the process.

Research has shown that between basic mistakes, pricing errors, and lack of negotiating skills will cost you more money than the agent's commission every time you try to sell your home yourself. 

If you would like the expert assistance you need to accomplish your real estate goals, don't hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I would love to give you a hand!
