With sellers looking to wring every penny of potential profit from the sale of their homes, you might think that more are choosing to sell their homes themselves. However, recent statistics from the National Association of Realtors® show the opposite to be true. In fact, the percentage of homes for sale by owner (FSBOs) has declined from 14% in 2003 to about 9% more recently. It seems that when confronted with the realities of selling a home, more sellers are finding that it is not a job for amateurs. Not only do listing, advertising, and staging a home require time and money, real estate professionals are better experienced at pricing a home, drawing potential buyers, and negotiating a good deal.
Proper pricing, staging and marketing can mean getting the most for your real estate investment. At CENTURY 21 SEXTON & DONOHUE, you will benefit from our experience and knowledge.
