For Sale By Owner, What Are You Really Saving?


I recently learned that in 2007 only 12% of for sale by owners were successful in selling their home. The other 88% ended up listing their home with a real estate agent. Being in real estate, I understand the benefits of having a qualified professional market your home, but home owners are often to concerned with saving money so they decide to go at it themselves. Most home sellers find that this is a quite tedious process that they were not prepared for. I found this educational article that explains why it is beneficial to use a licensed real estate broker. If you are currently trying to sell your home on your own or are considering, this is a great article to read.
