Listing your home for sale by owner (FSBO) may seem like a good idea, but is it? According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2017 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 8% of home sales were accomplished as for sale by owner (FSBO), and of those, 40% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $190,000 in 2017, compared to the agent-assisted home sale median price of $250,000.
The number one reason some sellers decide to list on their own is to potentially save money on commission. The money they might save on commission can easily be lost. By listing with The O Team you gain valuable market exposure which is crucial to getting you top dollar for your home and negotiators committed to you. The O Team specializes in marketing your home. With your first showing starting online professional staging and photography are key components of the listing process. We syndicate your listing into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and 80 different Real Estate Sites.

Another great savings from listing with The O Team is that we are expert negotiators. There are multiple negotiating points when it comes to a selling home other than the purchase price. Negotiating the contingencies of an offer such as Home Inspections, Appraisal and Financing contingencies can be very lucrative to a seller. It is our goal to get you an offer that we can negotiate to a great price for you! Are you familiar with what a Title Policy is? A seller must provide an Owner’s Policy to the buyer to guarantee free and clear Title. We take care of coordinating inspections, appraisals, ordering title and more! Give us a call today to find out how we can help you sell your home for more and move into the new home you’ve been dreaming of!
