FSBO Guide: Selling your home for sale by owner guide
For someone experienced in the purchase, sale, and marketing of a home, selling a home FSBO makes good financial sense. However, for someone who is inexperienced in marketing and real estate the FSBO route could cost the seller a great deal of time and money. Making a mistake in pricing, marketing, legal compliance or paperwork can have serious repercussions, both financial and legal.
Data:
FSBO listings are more common today than in 2007, thanks to consumer-facing listing platforms such as Zillow and easier access to the MLS for non-agent but FSBO is no walk in the park. A 2017 Zillow report found that 36% of homeowners attempt to sell their homes without an agent, but only 11% actually complete sales themselves. In other words, more than two-thirds of sellers who try FSBO fail.
There are many reasons that folks choose to go the FSBO route when selling their homes. FSBO means ‘For Sale by Owner’ in the world of real estate. It sounds like ‘fizbo’ when said aloud, and the concept most definitely has some serious pros, but also comes with many risks!
