It Pays to Sell with a Real Estate Agent [INFOGRAPHIC]

By Tami Savage

It pays to sell with a real estate agent. Today, it's more important than ever to have an expert you trust to guide you as you sell your house. For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is the process of selling real estate without a broker or real estate agent representing you. Here's why selling as a FSBO is a big mistake. You're likely to net more money working with an agent. Houses sold with an agent net an average of 6% more than those sold on their own. Selling on your own can be difficult from a legal standpoint. Real estate agents act as a thirdd party to help you avoid legal jeopardy. This is one of the major reasons why FSBOing has ddroppedd from 19% to 8% over the past 20 years. Negotiating the ddeal is complex. Here's who you'll have to negotiate with if you try to sell your house on your own: Buyer, Buyer's agent, Home Inspector, Appraiser (if there's a question of value), Buyer's attorney, in some parts of the country (Escrow company in Florida), Your safety is a priority. When you sell on y our own, it's very hard to control entry into your home. Real estate professionals are experienced in keeping you safe with proper sanitization measures and COVID-19 guidance. They also use technology like virtual tours to limit access to your home. Selling your house on your own leaves you to manage the entire transaction by yourself. Before you decide to take on this challenge, let's connect to make sure you're safe and successful every step of the way. Sources: Collateral Analytics and NAR.
