Why Sell My Home “By Owner”?

Because no one knows your home better than you do. Why pay a real estate agent to market your property when you can do it yourself with the right resources and a little coaching? Selling by owner allows you to control costs and fees, and recoup more of the home equity you’ve worked so hard to build. Consider this: A homeowner selling a $300,000 house through a full-service real estate agent could expect to be charged a 6 percent commission (approximately $18,000), plus additional fees. Not only can you hang onto that money selling by owner, you retain complete control of your listing.
