Q: Won't I save more money by selling myself without a REALTOR®?
A: You may try to sell your home without a REALTOR® to save a commission- but are you really saving a commission? Let's take a close look at all the key players. We have our seller, who like anyone else wants to save some money so they decide to sell their home without the use of a REALTOR®. Then we have our For Sale By Owner Shopper, who decides to forego using the services, expertise, equipment, negotiating skills, connections and knowledge of a real estate agent- in order to what? Again- save the commission. Are we talking about two separate commissions here? No- there's only one commission. And serious For Sale By Owner Shoppers only shop For Sale By Owner to save this commission. They find a For Sale Buy Owner Property that they can live with and knock the commission right off the top of the price. In this situation- you didn't really save a commission- you just gave it away. Would you rather give this money away to a total stranger or enjoy the benefits of letting an agent handle all of the details? |
