Reasons For Sellers To Not Sell Without A Realtor (FSBO)

For Sale by Owners lack access to qualified buyers or a means to qualify buyers.

Buyers May Not Trust for Sale by Owners; real estate agents have a legal and ethical obligation to disclosure latent or hidden defects of the home. These defects might be things you might leave out, unintentionally simply because you might not know what to disclose in the first place.

For Sale by Owner’s may lack sufficient Marketing Exposure, improper pricing, and lack of objectivity.

According to the National Association of Realtors, “for sale by owner” properties lose a percentage of the price they could have gotten if the owner listed with an agent

Many agents will avoid showing for sale by owner (FSBO) listings to their customers and clients.
