Don’t Read This Page Unless You Want to Spend Less Time and Earn More Money on Your Home Sale
Did you know that 70% of the people who start out selling their homes on their own eventually hire a Realtor? Here are some of the reasons:
- More Money for You. Here are the statistics from 2009. Homes sold with the help of a Realtor receive approximately 96% of the asking price. On the average, a house sold by the owner gets only 81 cents on the dollar of the asking price. If you’re asking $250,000 as a FSBO, you are likely to end up a lot closer to only $200,000.
- Reaching More Potential Buyers. John has access to the latest online marketing tools and is able to advertise your home to reach the maximum number of agents and their clients.
- Greater Chance of Closing the Sale. Offers accepted by sellers working with real estate agents go to settlement approximately 95% of the time; offers accepted by FSBO sellers go to settlement approximately 45% of the time. That is because Realtors are trained to negotiate settlements that are a win for the buyer and a win for the seller.
- Fewer Disruptions to Your Life. Realtors bring qualified buyers to your home and usually find a buyer in 8-10 showings; Studies show that only 4% of the people who respond to FSBO ads are qualified buyers, meaning very few inquiries can actually afford to buy your home.
- Saving You Time . Many FSBO sellers don’t realize how much time is dedicated to marketing, showing, negotiating and follow-up during the home sale process. Realtors are trained to handle all of these duties as part of their job.
- Ensuring Your Safety. Realtors screen buyers before bringing them to your home and accompany them so that you are never alone with prospective buyers.

“We tried unsuccessfully to sell our house by ourselves. We then listed with John Herreid. We selected John because he had the most extensive marketing program of anyone with whom we spoke and also because he agreed to let us continue to market the house on our own.
“As it turns out, we did find a buyer on our own and John honored his agreement to release us from our contract. We then hired him as a Transaction Agent to coordinate all the details of the sale for us. He did a very good job and we had a smooth settlement.” George and Mina Friborg, For Sale by Owner Sellers
