Which is Better… FSBO or Realtor?
The answer to Realtor vs. FSBO is the same answer to many questions in real estate… it depends.
Before deciding on whether or not to do it yourself, consider the following factors:
- How motivated are you to sell?
- Is time an issue?
- How much equity do you have?
If you are more ‘curious’ than ‘serious’ about selling your house, than FSBO may be the way to go. It’s common for sellers, especially in an appreciating market, to want to see how much they could sell their house for. So if you want to list above market price and have quite a bit of equity but don’t have to sell, then listing it yourself may be a good idea. The property will be staged and if you do sell, you will save yourself 3% on the closing costs.
If you have equity and time is an issue, then I would recommend using a Realtor. They can advertise your house to motivated buyers, help you with the best pricing and provide valuable information. For traditional house sales where time is somewhat of an issue and you have a fair amount of equity, then using a Realtor can be a good thing. The chart below shows that Realtors are typically able to sell quicker and at a higher price than a FSBO because of their superior knowledge of the market.
