Our Partners over at Keeping Current Matters wrote a fantastic Blog post about the reasons why it's not always in the best interest of the Owner to Sell their home on their own without the help of a Realtor.
The 5 Reasons You Shouldn't For Sale By Owner (click to read more) is a great read for those thinking about selling in 2014 or those who are already trying to do it.
2 Very important reasons that they mention in this article is the two that deal with exposure of your home in 2014.
- #1 – Exposure to Prospective Purchasers
- #2 – Results come from the Internet
92% of Buyers no matter what age, price range, or area go online to search for their new home.
A For Sale by Owner, who has never sold a home before or who may have past experience in selling their own home, has not developed an internet marketing plan like a top, professional Realtor has done. Nor would it be financially prudent for them to do so at the cost of setup, training, staff to keep up with the fast pace of the internet, and continual fees to maintain the exposure which draws more buyers to every home a Realtor lists.
There is one other fact that many For Sale by Owners don't realize…
- Listing with an experienced Realtor will net them more money! Especially if your home is in a high-end market for your area.
