Why shouldn't I sell my house on my own?

FISBO - For Sale By Owner

Marketing your house can cost you lots of time and money.  Most potential buyers start by looking at real estate agencies.  Most real estate agencies don't give potential buyers any info on FISBOs because there is either no commission involved or discount commission. 

Newspaper advertising is expensive.  By listing your property with a real estate agent you get your property in the local newspapers as well as on the MLS (multiple listing service). By having your property on the MLS any buyer walking into any real estate agency has the chance to see your property.

Real Estate professionals are experienced third party negotiators when dealing with the buyers. They also help to qualify prospective buyers before they walk through your door.  You can waste a lot of time showing your home to nosey neighbors instead of bank approved buyers.

Real Estate professionals also help buyers with the loan & inspection process.  As well as help you get your information in order. 

Most buyers purchasing a FISBO expect a deal.  They know you should easily be able to take off a large percentage of your asking price.
