Why Selling Without an Agent Can Cost You More Than You Think

Thinking of selling your house without an agent to “save” on commission? Here’s the truth: it could actually cost you more.

💡 Last year, homes sold with an agent went for nearly 15% more than those sold by owners alone. That’s a big gap you don’t want to leave on the table.

This Isn’t the Market for DIY Selling

A few years back, putting up a “For Sale By Owner” sign might have worked. Homes were flying off the market, and buyers were competing hard.

But today, things look different. There are more homes for sale than we’ve seen in years, which means buyers have options. If your listing doesn’t shine with the right price, photos, and marketing, it can easily get skipped.

More Homes = More Competition

With more inventory out there, you need more than a sign and some snapshots. You need:

• The right pricing strategy

• Expert prep and staging advice

• Professional marketing and exposure

• Skilled negotiation to protect your bottom line

Without these, chances are you’ll end up losing money instead of saving it.

Why More Sellers Are Turning to Pros

The numbers speak for themselves: fewer homeowners are selling on their own than ever before. In fact, 21% of FSBO sellers eventually hired an agent after struggling to get the job done.

Bottom Line

In today’s market, an agent isn’t optional—it’s essential. If you want to sell for the best possible price (without stress or regrets), start with a local pro who knows exactly what works right now.
