For Sale By Owner, also known as FSBO (pronounced fizzbo in its abbreviated form) is the term for when a homeowner chooses to sell his house without the help of a real estate agent. The advantage of FSBO is that the owner doesn’t have to pay commission to a real estate agent, which can add a nice sum to the final sale for the homeowner. Also, FSBO is a good option for homeowners who are concerned that a real estate agent might be more focused on selling their home quickly rather than selling it for the best price.
However, FSBO can be a lot of work. Real estate agents do a lot of leg work when it comes to home sales. This includes things like market research to find comparable homes in the area and suggest a good price for your home based on these comparisons. The agent can use his or her experience to suggest how to best present your home to potential buyers, and will schedule, advertise, and cater open houses both for other real estate brokers and the public. Perhaps most importantly the agent can help you when it comes to negotiations, and use his or her experience to evaluate an offer’s strength and how to respond to an offer. Agents also help you through the escrow process and negotiate with the buyer’s agent up to the final closing. So, while FSBO has the potential to save you a lot of money, it comes at the cost of a lot of your time. This is where American Home Title Group comes in.
