My husband made me laugh this morning when he said you and Julie (my business partner) in TeamTropic Hernando, need to get our feet rocking and our knuckes knocking. What did he mean - we are going to go visit For Sale By Owners and explain why it might behoove them to list with a realtor.
Most FSBO don't break the cost of doing it self versus that one stigma they have - they don't want to pay a commission. However, they are still paying the interest and taxes on their home. Buyers are hesitant to knock on someone's door and go into a strange home without being accompanied by a realtor. Also, realtors charge a commission but that is to cover the cost of our advertising. It does vary from realtor to realtor so if you are considering talking to a realtor, which doesn't cost a penny, ask those questions. Where are you advertising, how does my home reach people searching the internet? An informed seller will sell their home quicker and in the long run, probably save them money.
Talk to a realtor today.
We will always keep you posted.
