COMMISIONS
Let’s state the obvious, one of the advantages of selling your home yourself is that you don’t need to pay commisions to real estate agents which is at least 6% of the total sale or more depending on the sale price. In addition to this there are other fees that take money out of your pocket like agent fees, administrative fees, marketing and more! 6% might not seem like a lot but it is! Imagine if you can sell your house at $1 Million that would be $60,000 + more that would be taken away from you!
Another expense that we can add to this is where you will be staying while the showcase is running. If you don’t have a place to go while agents are showcasing your home to potential buyer the odds are you will be renting for the meantime while waiting for the house to be sold. Moving in to a new home after the sale should also be taken to consideration, these will be your moving costs. Will you be renting a van or truck? Will you hire people to move your stuff? Think about that %6 that could’ve gone to these expenses.
SCHEDULES
Don’t want to showcase during the weekends? No problem. You are not forced to showcase your house every single day when you run the show. In which case is sometimes not possible while working with agents. It’s their job to bring as much people as they can to showcase your house to and scheduling people across the week is part of it. Agents will follow which schedule would be the best time for potential buyers to have a look at your house and most often weekends are the pick.
PRICE
Agents will try to milk out every cent that they can get out of your home which means sometimes pricing will not be negotiable to potential buyers. This is because they make earnings out of their commision so the higher the sell, the more they get. This is not an advantage on your end because what if you are eager to sell already? Standing firm on the price will prolong the sale and sometimes they longer your house is on the market, the lower it’s value becomes. Remember there are factors to consider while selling your house. The house itself might now lower it’s value, but the neighborhood around might instantly change which is a big factor for potential buyers. Don’t forget we all looked forward to 2020 and then all of a sudden everything changed.
If you are to sell your home yourself you can control the negotiations and sell the house quick as you please. This includes when can the new owner move in and when you will be moving out. You can still cherish your home as much as you can even after the papers have been signed.
