Reasons to list with a realtor, instead of going it alone.
Legalities
Do you know that most homes sold by owner aren’t even sold correctly? The clear majority have numerous errors on the contract, opening the owners up to some potentially serious legal pitfalls. Ever heard of full disclosure? This can turn into a serious issue…more than just selling your home or not.
How much time you got?
On a national scale, FSBO’s take an average of 89 days to sell. Here, in Orlando, you can review the numbers by going to different blog posts of mine on my website, such as this one, or this one, or this one, but, of all homes on MLS sold with Realtor representation, 60% of them sold within 30 days.
Speaking of numbers
Stats from the National Association of Realtors: the average home for sale by owner sold for $185k. With a Realtor: $240,000. Good luck trying to save that commission.
Speaking of time
So…you’re going to go put in your 40 hour work week, like normal, take care of the kids, family obligations…and then sell a house? When you’re at work, your home isn’t being sold. When you’re at doctor appointments, little league, recitals, family functions, your home isn’t being sold. A Realtor’s job is solely to do that for you, when you aren’t able to do it yourself!
Okay, okay okay. Among the many reasons why for sale by owner is just a bad idea, I’ve given you just a few. I think I’ve made a strong enough case why you should list with a Realtor…but…why list with me?
On average, my listings have all gone under contract in 11 days, this year.
Every single one of my listings has sold within 98.5% of its listed price.
I provide professional photography, editing, writing, and staging advice to all of my clients, helping you put your best foot forward.
Every single step of the sales process is carefully considered and meticulously crafted, and designed to be completely different than the average realtor, getting you better than average results!
