Most homeowners who decide to sell their own home, do so because they believe they can save the commission paid to the real estate agent. But everything has a price, and selling a home carriers a high one. The amount of time and effort required to sell a home often surprises the FSBO:
1. You the FSBO have to worry about unscrupulous buyers hoping to pay less than market value for your home.
2. You the FSBO have to worry about unqualified persons attempting to view/enter your home.
3. You the FSBO could become a prisoner in your own home waiting for the phone to ring, or doorbell to buzz.
4. You the FSBO would be constantly checking your computer for emails from potential buyers.
It's a lot to deal with, so please think about it! But if you are still determined to become a FSBO then with our help and guidance, you can avoid the many costly mistakes some FSBO make.
