For Sale By Owner - A Good Idea?
Thinking About Selling Your Home FSBO? Here’s What You Need to Know
FSBO (For Sale By Owner) means selling your home without the help of a licensed real estate agent. Many homeowners try FSBO, hoping to save the typical 5–6% agent commission. On the surface, it sounds like a big savings — especially on higher-priced homes. But the reality is different.
Statistics show that fewer than 10% of FSBO sellers are successful, and many of them end up selling for less than they would with an experienced agent. That “savings” often disappears once you factor in time, stress, and lost value.
Challenges FSBO Sellers Face:
- Pricing correctly: Most FSBO homes are either overpriced or underpriced.
- Marketing exposure: Without MLS access, your buyer pool is drastically smaller.
- Time demands: Calls, showings, negotiations, and paperwork can feel like a second job.
- Legal & compliance risks: Missing a detail in contracts or disclosures can cost thousands.
- Negotiation power: Buyers’ agents often push FSBO sellers harder, knowing they lack experience.
