What are the benefits of selling through a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listing?
One of the biggest reasons for selling your home through an FSBO listings is that you’ll avoid the hefty broker’s fee associated with hiring an agent to sell your home for you. In many places this fee can be as much as 6 or 7 percent, which adds up to thousands of dollars when all is said and done. You also have the benefit of negotiating a deal directly with the buyer instead of through a third-party. Another reason to sell your home yourself is that you are completely in charge, so you can decide to accept or decline offers yourself, instead of on the advice of an agent. You get to set the final price. Many people who need to sell their home quickly also like to use the FSBO approach. By cutting the amount you save by not hiring a broker off the sale price of the home, your home will become more attractive to buyers, and as a result it will attract more attention and be purchased more quickly.
