Our experts know the market and how best to price your house.

A way that your agent can maximize the sale price of your home is to make sure it’s correctly priced. Real estate professionals can compare your house with similar properties in your neighborhood. They can also help you to factor in any home improvements. This combination is key to making your home move-in ready – at a reasonable price.

FSBO is a way to operate without expert knowledge. Even with your own research, it’s possible to miss the most recent information and set a price that is inaccurate or unrealistic. A house priced too high could cause buyers to walk away before they even get inside the door. This could also lead to problems during the appraisal.

Your agent is an expert negotiator.

Real estate professionals have the ability to negotiate all aspects of a deal. This is in addition to their extensive sales experience. They know all parties that are involved in the sale, including:

• The buyer is someone who wants the best price.
• The buyer’s representative who will use his/her expertise to advocate on behalf of the buyer.
• The inspection agency works for the purchaser and almost always finds problems with the house.
• An appraiser who evaluates the property’s market value in order to protect the lender.

A good agent will rely on their knowledge and training to make the best decisions during negotiations. They will be able to tell you what levers to pull and how each individual should be addressed. Selling your house to FSBO will require you to be able to have these conversations by yourself.
