Is an agent really necessary?

Filed under: Selling FSBO — Tags: — admin @ 3:38 pm

In today’s market is the agent really necessary? In our opinion, the traditional full service agent is like a dinosaur… A relic of the past.

Traditionally, realtors were crucial to the process because they:

(1) Were the sources of knowledge and information on such topics as home values, neighborhoods, schools, and the local real estate market,

(2) Provided home sellers with the means of advertising their homes, and access to the MLS,

(3) Provided homebuyers with a consolidated database of existing homes for sale.

Today, all the information a homebuyer or seller needs is available for free on the Internet. FSBO magazines and Internet sites such as For SalebyOwner.com and TexasFSBO.com provide sellers with far-reaching advertising outlets, including Flat Fee MLS listings, for a cost of only a few hundred dollars, and they provide buyers with a convenient and hassle-free means to viewing available houses on the market. Paying exorbitant realtor fees can no longer be justified. YOUR home is YOUR castle. Don’t throw YOUR money away.

  2. Our last agent was a nice lady, but ultimatley she did very little to help us sell our home. I don’t think she even showed it once. The only traffic we ever had was from the buyer agents. We are definitley considering FSBO for when we sell again in the spring.
