For Sale By Owner Phoenix Real Estate

For Sale By Owner or FSBO is the process of selling Phoenix real estate without the representation of a Phoenix real estate broker or Phoenix real estate agent. Phoenix home owners may employ the services of a marketing, online listing company or market their own property.  When a home owner chooses to sell their home "For Sale By Owner" they do not pay a commission and represent themselves throughout the sale.

So why would a Phoenix home owner want to try to sell their home FOR SALE BY OWNER???

One of the most popular reasons why Phoenix homeowners choose to sell their house without the assistance of an agent is to avoid paying an agent's commission.  In Phoenix, the total real estate commission typically makes up 6% of the selling price of the property.  With the average sales price of $150,000, this equals $9,000.00 in total cost.
