A WORD ABOUT FOR SALE BY OWNERS (FSBO) Simply put, selling your house without the help of an experienced and professional Realtor will often end badly. On average, houses sell for about 10% more when sold by Realtors vs FSBO. This means that you will probably make significantly more money selling with a Realtor. The fact is, Realtors can effectively market your house to other Realtors (and their qualified Buyers) using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Your MLS listing will automatically propogate to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Homes.com and other real estate websites so that 1000s of people know about your house. The total Realtor commissions due to Realtors fully negotiable, which gives you full control over what you pay Realtor(s) for selling your house for you. On the other hand, owners who try to sell houses without Realtor assistance often encounter problems including wasted time with unqualified buyers, busted contracts, issues with earnest money, not being able to effectively market the house (resulting in a lower purchase price), legal issues related to "caveat emptor", disclosure issues, lead paint disclosures, inspections, title issues, repair issues, and appraisal issues. In fact, many FSBO owners end up listing their houses with a Realtor after failing to sell it on their own. ASCEND would love to speak with you about selling your house!
