Are you thinking of selling your home yourself? You’re not alone. Saving real estate agent commission fees is a big incentive for the “for sale by owner” (FSBO) method.<\/p>\n

Let’s see why. The average commission rate in California ranges from 4 to 6 percent. That means that if you sell a house worth $700,000 \u2014 the approximate median home value in California \u2014 the agent commission can be as high as $42,000!<\/p>\n

Even if your buyer has a real estate agent, you’ll avoid paying half of that in listing commissions. Just think. You can use those savings to help pay for your move or towards a down payment for your new home.<\/p>\n

According to the Zillow Group Consumer Housing Trends Report<\/a>, only about 10 percent of FSBOs never engage with a listing or selling agent.<\/p>\n

Another 10 percent of DIY home sellers simply give up and end up going the traditional route of working with an agent to sell their home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you beat the odds by selling your home yourself? You can learn from the mistakes of other home sellers. Here are the top five reasons FSBOs fail.<\/p>\n

    <\/ol>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    #1. Not Showcasing Your Home to Sell<\/h2>\n

    Today’s home buyers are internet savvy, and they want to see as much as they can of your listing before set foot in your home. That’s why successful FSBO listings feature professional photos and videos.<\/p>\n

    \n

    That means you need to clean and declutter your home so that it looks appealing. Then your best bet is to hire a photographer who can show off each room to its best advantage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Take multiple exterior shots as well to highlight your landscaping and the outside condition of your home. Street views of your neighborhood add visual appeal.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f6f9″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” border_width_all=”16px” border_color_all=”#f3f6f9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\ue072\u00a0 <\/span>When you create a free listing on homepie.com<\/a>, you can easily find a local photographer who specializes in real estate. This professional will make sure your listing shows your home to its full advantage with photos and videos that get noticed.<\/p>\n

      <\/ol>\n

      <\/h2>\n

      #2. Poor Marketing<\/h2>\n

      Sticking a store-bought cardboard sign in the yard and waiting for people to give you a call is not a marketing plan.<\/p>\n

      Successful FSBO sellers invest in a professional For Sale sign, but it doesn’t stop there.<\/p>\n

      They also promote their home on numerous websites and social media. Many sellers print flyers and host open houses<\/a> to get the word out about their property to as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f6f9″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” border_width_all=”16px” border_color_all=”#f3f6f9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

        [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”No-Expertise-in-Real-Estate-Contracts” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

        #3. No Expertise in Real Estate Contracts<\/h2>\n

        Many FSBO deals fail because owners get bogged down by all the paperwork. Real estate contracts are loaded with confusing terms, clauses and contingencies.<\/p>\n

        Most closing documents are legally binding agreements, so errors can potentially cost you a sale as well as thousands of dollars in fees.<\/p>\n

        Who has time to study California real estate law or hunt down the right Purchase Agreement? And if you manage to find the right one, download it to your computer, and print it out, it doesn’t mean you’ll know how to complete it.<\/p>\n

        [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f6f9″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” border_width_all=”16px” border_color_all=”#f3f6f9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

          #4. Not Using the MLS or Zillow<\/h2>\n

          In California, you can pay a flat fee to get your home listed on the MLS<\/a> (Multiple Listing Service), a system real estate brokers use to see property listings.<\/p>\n

          This database syndicated to sites like Zillow and Redfin, where interested buyers are browsing. But if you want to avoid paying a buyer’s agent commission, you\u2019ll need to create a listing on Zillow yourself for one important reason\u2014exposure.<\/p>\n

          \n

          Unless you already have a buyer lined up, Zillow is a necessary tool for the home-selling process because the number one place people browse real estate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

          However, owners who are going the FSBO route often don\u2019t use Zillow to their advantage. Have you noticed the “contact agent” button at the top of your home listing? It’s there because Zillow sells leads to real estate agents. Buyers need to scroll way down to find the “contact seller” button. You need to find your way around Zillow when you’re working without an agent.<\/p>\n

          [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f6f9″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” border_width_all=”16px” border_color_all=”#f3f6f9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

            #5. Limited Availability for Showings<\/h2>\n

            Some FSBO homeowners limit their showings \u2013 and their chances of a sale \u2013 by scheduling appointments only when they are home.<\/p>\n

            Many buyers feel awkward when the owner is around, and many sellers get weary of having to be home for multiple showings.<\/p>\n

            [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Not-Showcasing-Your-Home-to-Sell” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f6f9″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” border_width_all=”16px” border_color_all=”#f3f6f9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
