Many people think that selling homes is an easy process and anyone can do it. The fact is there are a lot of tiny details and major legal hurdles to selling a home. Not only that but statistics show that by selling a home with a Realtor you are more likely to walk away with a higher profit which means more money in your pocket. . .even AFTER paying Realtor fees.
According to the 2013 National Association of Realtor's 2013 profile of home buyers and sellers the average FSBO sale price was $174,900 and the average sale price of a home represented by a Realtor was $215,00. That is a $40,100 difference!
Here are just a few more reasons why listing your home with a Realtor is a good idea:
- As a Realtor, I have access to market data which allows them to determine the BEST price to sell your home in the shortest amount of time for the greatest amount of money.
- I can show your home when you aren’t available, or another licensed Realtor will be there to show your home. If you need to go out of town, have to work, or are on vacation the process of showing, and selling, your home can continue. Remember, the more people who see your home the more likely your home is to sell.
- I have professional marketing expertise, contacts with other Realtors who work with buyers, and the support of a brokerage that can market your home more widely than you can as an individual.
- I can screen visitors to your home, which provides a measure of safety that FSBO sellers don’t have. In addition, by checking to see if the buyers are legitimate and can afford to purchase your home, a I can help you avoid wasting time showing your home to unrealistic buyers.
