Can You Really Save Money Selling FSBO

Selling by one of the many FSBO sites can save you money, but have you considered the time it might take you to get your listing up? If you time is valuable, use that to evaluate the savings in listing FSBO.
 
July 9, 2011 - PRLog -- We Buy Houses | Baltimore MD: There are many websites out there today that give home sellers the opportunity to sell their own property without paying anyone else to do it. The question is how effective are they and is it worth the savings? The money you save over traditional home sales is substantial. That’s not the biggest question. The big question is whether your time is valuable enough to make it a very expensive alternative to hiring someone to do it for your or would you be better off calling an investor?

Many people are thrilled at the prospect of selling their own house. Often the ones who really do well are those that are retired and have time to explore the website, read all of the information, and go through the step by step training to get it right. Where you must continue to work every day and run around town dropping kids off here and picking kids up there, you might find that it would be easier to simply take the discounted cash amount that an investor would offer you.

There is very good and comprehensive information on the FSBO websites. You can learn how to sell your own house from start to finish without a hitch. The programs for uploading photos of your property are well laid out in most cases, and allow you to upload enough pictures for buyers to be interested in taking a look. The problem with FSBO is simply in the time factor that it takes to learn how it all works and how to best market your house to get it sold. The prices are generally reasonable and don’t come close to commissions you might have to pay otherwise. If your time is valuable and you must sacrifice salary or sales to spend the time listing your house instead, you’ll need to consider the time factor when you compare the true costs involved.

The reasonable alternative might be to take a discounted amount from a real estate investor. This could work out well for you as you won’t need to repair or remodel your house, wait for the best lighting to take photos and upload them, write descriptions and market the listing, or deal with the paperwork and legalities involved. An investor will simply make an offer, which may be around 70 to 80% of the current market value, and buy your house within a week.
