Why FSBO’s are losing – Selling your home in Stapleton, Denver
The For-Sale-By-Owner disadvantage…
Think you’re saving money by selling your home on your own?! Think again! According to a recent article by Inman, For-Sale-By-Owners (FSBO) on average, are not only selling their homes for less than if they were to use a Realtor (R); FSBO’s are selling for less than what they will save on commission! To put this into perspective, in 2015, FSBO’s lost approximately 16% of the sales price – the median selling price was $210,000 versus $249,000 when using a Realtor (R). We all know how crazy selling a home in Stapleton, Denver can be–this is not a time to leave money on the table!
Here are 4 reasons you should hire New Perspective Real Estate to sell your home:
Professional Representation – Working with a Realtor (R) means you will have professional representation on your side. They will be able to guide you throughout the entire process, whether you’re a home seller, or buyer. This means fielding prospects, arranging showings, taking care of contracts, and much more. Also, let’s not forget about their relationships with mortgage brokers, banks, inspectors, and active buyers in the market. These relationships can add a lot of value. Selling your home in Stapleton, Denver can be a daunting task–leave it to the professionals.
Market Knowledge – When deciding on a Realtor (R), be sure they are specialists. At NPRE, we are highly aligned with the Stapleton market. We are abreast on all comparable sales in the market, as well as active listings. We understand what it takes to maximize the selling price of your home, because we deal with this market on a daily basis.
Negotiations – It’s a fact that FSBO’s on average will sell their homes for less than they will save on commission. When there is direct contact between them and the buyer, it’s much easier to succumb to accepting a lower price. Let your Realtor (R) act as your angel on your shoulder to give you sound advice. Using them as a buffer will keep you safe from making illogical decisions.
