For Sale By Owner

Each year, a small number of home sellers forgo the assistance of a licensed real estate professional, and take on the daunting task of selling their home on their own. There are a variety of reasons why a person may decide to list their house "For Sale By Owner" including:

• 51% did not want to pay commission
• 22% sold to a relative/friend/neighbor
• 2% buyers contacted seller directly
• 8% did not want to deal with an agent
• 3% tried an agent but agent was unable to sell home

Believe it or not, over 80% of owners that wish to sell their property privately enlist the help of a Real Estate Professional on either the buying or selling side of the transaction. Many FSBO sellers will cooperate with your REALTOR® if you are interested in their property.

Thinking of Selling Your Home Without An Agent?

Privately selling a home can be a far larger and more time consuming task than first thought.  The following are some of the difficulties private sellers face when selling their home:

• Preparing the home for sale
• Preparing and completing the proper legal paperwork
• Cost involved in advertising the property
• The time involved in selling the home; such as showings, answering email and telephone inquiries, the paperwork, and marketing
• Deciphering qualified fron not-qualified potential buyers
• Negotiating for the best price
