Seven Reasons a For Sale By Owner does not add up

For Sale By Owner:

The Drawbacks of Going it Alone on a Home 

With housing on the upturn, multiple offers and rising sales prices are being

reported in our market. Some potential home sellers might think that selling

their home simply requires placing a “for sale” sign in their front yard. Many

sellers have learned the hard way that selling a home in today’s marketplace

is much more difficult than they imagined; their efforts to save money on

commissions may have been more costly than they anticipated.

Before venturing into doing the do-it-yourself option of being a for-sale by

owner (FSBO), you need to fully understand what is involved in the selling

of real estate and then compare the perceived advantages and the actual

disadvantages of trying to sell your property on your own.
