Even with commission fees, an agent will help you earn more for your home.
Austin’s hot market has some sellers believing that they can easily sell a home without a Realtor’s help. Buyer demand is incredibly high, after all, and doing a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) listing helps a seller avoid any commission fees. However, there are two big reasons why a FSBO sale may not be the best idea, even in a hot seller’s market like ours:
1. Pricing: Your Realtor monitors the market on a daily basis, and trends can shift very quickly. If you’re not pricing your home according to current neighborhood trends, your listing can sit unsold or cause you to leave money on the table. With a Realtor’s help, you can get the most out of your sale with competitive pricing.
2. Exposure: Realtors have a variety of tools that let them see who is looking for homes in your area. We can market to these people, creating more exposure for your home and getting you many more interested buyers. This can easily lead to multiple-offer situations, which will help you net more for your sale.
It’s completely possible to sell your home on your own, but the expertise of an experienced agent will make the entire process more efficient, effective, and profitable. If you have any questions or would like to see what we can do for you, feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
