🏠 Thinking About Selling Without a Realtor (FSBO)?

In Today’s Market, It May Be Riskier Than You Think

Selling your home without a real estate agent — also known as FSBO (For Sale By Owner) — might sound appealing. No commissions, more control, and less red tape... right?

But recent data shows a clear trend: FSBO is declining.According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the percentage of homeowners selling without an agent has hit an all-time low.And surveys show that 3 out of 4 FSBO sellers are unsure whether they made the right decision.

Why?Because today’s market isn’t crashing — but it’s complex and in transition.This is when having a real estate professional really matters.

📊 Let’s Look at Why FSBO is Fading

1. Accurate Pricing Requires StrategySetting the right price isn’t just about looking at your neighbor’s sale last year.According to Zillow, agents understand what today’s buyers respond to, and how to read real-time market data.A good Realtor knows what’s actually selling — and why.

2. Legal Contracts Are Complicated and RiskyDisclosures, contingencies, inspection terms —one mistake can delay closing, void the contract, or even lead to legal action.Realtors handle hundreds of contracts and can guide you through every line item with clarity.

3. Slower Market = Strategic Marketing NeededWith inventory growing, homes don’t sell as fast as they used to.But they do still sell — with the right tools, buyer network, and targeted marketing strategy.This is where FSBO sellers often fall short.

✅ In Summary

Today’s market demands preparation, negotiation, and experience.A professional Realtor isn’t just someone who lists your home —they are your strategist, negotiator, and legal safety net.

If you’re considering FSBO, take a moment to review the real trends —then let’s talk. You don’t have to go it alone.

📞 Don’t go solo. The strategy and experience you need is just one call away.
