Where's the bottom line?
Realtors® give a guarantee. If your home doesn't sell, even after all of their efforts, they don't get paid! They get 0%! If you attempt to sell your home, without the aid of a Realtor®, the expenses you have will be the same whether your home sells or not.
Studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts.
50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer, through Multiple Listing Services (MLS). MLS exposes your home to prospective buyers, globally.
A whopping 80% of for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) property ends up eventually being listed by a Realtor®.
Only 13% of homes for-sale-by-owner are successfully sold by the owner.
| The median sales price of For-Sale-By-Owner homes sold by the owner, themselves, is generally 27% LOWER than the median sales price of homes sold with the assistance of a Realtor. People buying directly from the owner expect a "deal" and some Buyers feel intimidated when dealing directly with the seller and won't even bother to approach them. |
| Typically a Realtor will cost you less than 7% that means more money in YOUR pocket! |
Statistics show 86% of buyers use a real estate agent during their search, 75% of buyers bought their home with the assistance of a REALTOR®, and 83% of sellers sold their home with the assistance of a REALTOR®*.
Current statistics tell us that over 80% of real estate sales are now generated by the internet, 78% of homebuyers who searched on the Internet purchased their homes through real estate professionals.
