For Sale by Owner

The virtue of self-reliance is as American as mom, baseball, and apple pie--except when you’re trying to sell your own home. Here such a "virtue" can cost you time, effort, and money. Since a great majority of homes that sell are listed with a real estate agent, you would be going against significant odds if you decide to sell your home yourself.

Usually, it’s the desire to "save" the commission on a property as the reason most people decide not to work with a real estate agent. Unfortunately, prospective buyers who look for properties that are "For Sale By Owner" (FSBOs) are also wanting to avoid the commission--and to get a less-than-market-value bargain in the deal! However, our experience shows that very little is saved in the majority of FSBOs. Having a professional guide you through the disclosure laws, price and inspection negotiations and coordinating the closing may be well worth the commission. In real estate, as in other areas of life, you definitely get what you pay for!
