9 Real Estate Myths for the Home Buyer or Home Seller – Day 3

Myth #3: If I SELL my own home I will save $$$

Yep, that sounds like a great idea BUT that is not always the case. This brings me back to the first day of this blog when I said, “As a society, we are not real estate experts that is why we have real estate agents…” With the market changing everyday why wouldn’t you want to have a real estate professional help you? Selling a home FSBO is tricky. You don’t have access to all of the marketing tools that a real estate agent has. You probably don’t have all the information that you would need to be able to pull comps in your area and make sure that you have your home priced correctly. SO what you thought you were saving by not paying a commission might end up costing you more in the long run if the house sits on the market for a long time and you end up reducing the price.

Yours to count on!
