Something Agents can discuss with FSBOs
An article posted today on my real estate news blog should be of particular interest to all real estate agents looking for ways to convince FSBOs why selling their own house without the help of a real estate agent might not be such a good idea.
The article, entitled “Should you sell home without agent?”, written by Margarette Burnette and provided to us by bankrate.com, presents homeowners with five questions they should ask themselves before selling a home on their own including, Do I know the value of my home in today’s market?, Am I ready to work with a buyer’s agent?, Will I take charge of sales and marketing responsibilities?, Can I bear criticism of my home?, and Am I willing to screen potential buyers?
.
Each question is amply discussed with enough information and some statistics that should convince FSBOs to reconsider their decision to go it alone without the help of a real estate agent. It might be just what you’ve been looking for to approach a FSBO and sell your services.
