The Recent Explosion of FSBOs
It's long been said by real estate agencies that selling your house without "expert" help is a surefire recipe for disaster. Are we to believe the hype here? Is it really not only taboo, but outright home-seller suicide to attempt to sell your own house?
Well, you'll first have to look at the industry and the reasons why some are saying this. The real estate industry self-promotes their services via media by spending large amounts of money to tell you that you should never attempt to sell without their help. This does't make it true, it just means that they're everywhere in terms of advertising.
Recently, however, there have been many FSBOs going up all over the place. FSBO is an acronym meaning For Sale By Owner. Basically, this means that the owner is in charge of the listing and not some real estate company. And while the sell your own house trend is picking up, the buying a private house trend is still lagging behind a little bit.
People on the purchasing end of homes just seem to put a little bit more faith in a real estate agency. Apparently, they have come around quite yet and still believe the positive media that realtors put out there in their own favour. You may want to sell your own house, but that doesn't mean people are going to show up to buy it. Even if you market it correctly, some people still want reassurance that some sort of professional is working in your corner.
This is when it helps to go online and find a remote service willing to list the house, market it and negotiate prices. For this service, you'll be charged a flat rate for a professional product and the use of a remote real estate agent. You get the best of both worlds: you get to sell on your own, minus any commissions, and buyers will gravitate to your listing.
