Why Do FSBO Homes Often Sell for Less Than Those Listed with a REALTOR®?
Great question—and an important one if you're thinking about selling your home yourself. Here are just a few reasons:
Limited Exposure – FSBO listings don’t usually make it to the MLS, which means fewer eyes on your property.
Lack of Negotiation Experience – Most sellers aren’t seasoned negotiators and may leave money on the table.
Emotional Attachment – It’s hard to stay objective when you’re emotionally tied to your home.
Underpricing or Overpricing – Without up-to-date market data, FSBOs often misprice their homes and miss the mark.
Buyer Skepticism – Buyers know FSBOs are trying to save commission, so they often come in expecting a discount.
Thinking of Selling Fast? Don’t Go It Alone!
If you're in a hurry, chances are you've already been approached with cash offers or pressured into quick-sale deals. These often feel like your only option—but they’re not.
At Reputable Realty we work with investors, wholesalers, and flippers on your behalf—so you’re insulated from their pressure. We’ll get you multiple bids and help you compare your other options:
As-is Retail Price – what it could sell for today.
Fixed-up Price – what it could sell for with a little investment.
This way, you keep control, and we help you make smart decisions that align with your net goals.
I’m Karen. Let’s talk about what your home is really worth and how to get you there.
