🏡 OPTION 1: LISTING WITH A REALTOR
Realtors can be effective — especially if you have the time, budget, and your home is in excellent condition. However, for many sellers, this route can present significant challenges:
**Time on Market:** It may take 45 to 90+ days to secure a buyer, assuming everything goes smoothly.
**Repairs and Updates:** To maximize your selling price, you might need to invest thousands in repairs, staging, or major system upgrades.
**6% Commission:** On a $200,000 home, you could pay approximately $12,000 in agent fees alone, not including closing costs.
**Showings and Open Houses:** You’ll need to keep your home spotless, be available for last-minute viewings, and vacate whenever someone wishes to tour the property.
**Uncertainty:** Buyers may back out, financing may fall through, inspections could uncover unexpected issues, and deals can linger indefinitely.
❌ **Bottom Line:** High costs, lengthy delays, and no guarantees.
✍️ **OPTION 2: FOR SALE BY OWNER (FSBO)**
While selling your home independently to avoid commission fees may seem appealing, there are significant hidden risks and responsibilities to consider:
**You Handle Everything:** You’ll be responsible for marketing your home, scheduling showings, qualifying buyers, managing legal paperwork, and negotiating the sale—all without the support of a professional.
**Limited Exposure:** Without access to the MLS and agent networks, your home may attract fewer potential buyers.
**Buyer Trust Issues:** Many buyers prefer not to work directly with sellers, especially if they feel uncertain about the process.
**Legal Risks:** A single error in paperwork, a missed disclosure, or a poorly drafted contract could lead to serious legal complications.
**Time-Consuming:** FSBO homes generally take longer to sell compared to agent-listed properties due to potential mispricing or inadequate marketing efforts.
❌ **Bottom Line:** Increased stress, elevated risks, and no professional guidance.
