Plenty of home sellers are looking for a great way to save when they sell their homes. It just makes sense: the market is slowing down, there’s a chance that the offer will be lower than they’d hoped and real estate commissions are often high enough to make a serious dent in the profits from the sale.
The problem is that, when many sellers choose to go on their own, they don’t know how to really get buyers in the door. Part of the problem is that they don’t know which upgrades to make to the property or which incentives will really help buyers to develop an interest in the property. Another part of the problem is that FSBO sellers don’t always have the tools they need to set up and market an open house.
But the biggest problem that sellers who go it on their own often face is a lack of exposure for their property. How are they supposed to get buyers to know that their home is on the market? And buyers who are using agents? How can they find agents who are willing to show a for sale by owner property?
The truth is that many agents won’t show a FSBO home because they’re concerned about not receiving a commission if they make the sale. The truth is that there are going to be problems with selling entirely on your own.
However, those problems all become distant memories when you make the choice to sell with flat fee MLS. Flat fee MLS puts your home into the same database agents use to find properties to show their buyers and on the web for buyers who are going it alone.
