We're frequently asked by people whether it's better to sell their own home or have a real estate agent assist in the process. Most people prefer to sell their own home because they don't want to have to pay a Realtor the commission.
However, what most people don't realize is that using a real estate agent to sell your home nets you 8-10% more on the sale price, so the agent's 6% commission is nearly paid for by itself. An agent will also do all of the work for you. Selling a home is a full-time job that requires skill in negotiation, marketing, and much more. Real estate agents work with a plethora of industry professionals such as lenders, title companies, contractors, insurance agents, and more.
If you're looking to sell for a profit, using the professional skill set of a real estate agent is the only way to go.
With this being said, there are certain scenarios where a FSBO sale may be better for you. If you're selling to a family member or a friend and you're not concerned about making a lot of money, then this may be a better option.
