It's best suited for experienced sellers or those with strong marketing and negotiation skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main advantage of FSBO is avoiding listing agent commissions, potentially saving thousands of dollars. However, sellers take on all responsibilities, including pricing, marketing, showings, and negotiations. In the past, FSBO sellers have needed to offer a buyer's agent commission, but this has changed after the settlement of a November 2023 lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/news\/realtor-commission-stats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coverage of the NAR lawsuit<\/a> for more details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to sell your home without a realtor, you\u2019ll need the help of an agent or a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/flat-fee-mls-listing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flat fee MLS (FFMLS) company<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to post your listing on the local multiple listing service (MLS). FFMLS companies will do this for a low, fixed price, typically ranging from $45 to $999 with the option to add on additional services, like yard signs or showing scheduling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can bypass using a FFMLS company and truly sell on your own. But without visibility on the local MLS, your home will be exposed to far fewer buyers. Typically, this route is only good for sellers who have a buyer lined up.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FSBO sales often take longer than agent-assisted sales, typically 3\u20136 months, due to limited exposure and the seller's learning curve.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"drawer-panel\">\n            <h3>\n              <button class=\"drawer-trigger\">Cash home buyer companies<\/button>\n            <\/h3>\n            <div class=\"drawer-content\">\n              <div>\n                <p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/companies-that-buy-houses-for-cash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cash home buyer companies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, often called \"We Buy Houses\" companies, purchase homes directly from sellers for cash.

As part of the home-selling process, your real estate agent will generally prepare your CMA, which includes the recent sale prices of other homes sold on the local market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an assessment of your home, your real estate agent will examine your home\u2019s style, square footage, number of bathrooms, location, and other factors. Although they can talk to you about your house over the phone, your agent will be able to provide a more accurate assessment by visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sellers can also get a <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/what-is-a-broker-price-opinion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">broker price opinion (BPO)<\/a>, a report completed by a licensed real estate professional to estimate a property's value. This option is usually best for FSBO sellers who are not working with a listing agent. BPOs also tend to be less detailed and comprehensive than a CMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing is extremely important when trying to attract potential buyers to your property. If your price is too high, your home may sit on the market for a while. If your price is too low, you may wind up short-changing yourself in the deal, or buyers will avoid your house because it seems \u201csuspicious.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"brxe-block quick-tip\">  <span class=\"quick-tip-title\">\ud83d\udc4b Get a free comparative market analysis!<\/span>  <div class=\"quick-tip-content\"><p>Match with top-rated agents from brand-name brokerages, like Keller Williams and RE\/MAX, and request a free CMA today!

Start with a catchy headline that summarizes your house\u2019s main selling point. In the main description, use descriptive but conversational language to paint a picture of life in the home, focusing on its key attributes, recent upgrades, and standout features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be specific about details like square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and special amenities. Avoid overused phrases like \"must-see\" or \"won't last long,\" and instead, provide concrete details that set your home apart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the property listing site, include high-quality, well-lit photos of each room and the exterior, and consider adding a virtual tour. To make your listing attractive to buyers, emphasize features that appeal to your target market, such as proximity to good schools, a home office space, or energy-efficient upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your listing is complete, your agent will advertise it across multiple channels \u2014 your local MLS, <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/best-home-buying-websites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">popular real estate websites<\/a>, social media platforms, etc. Your agent may also reach out to their network of potential buyers and other agents to generate interest in your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stage and show your home to potential buyers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When staging your home for showings, create a welcoming, neutral environment that allows prospective buyers to envision themselves living there.

Field offers and make counteroffers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a potential buyer submits an offer on your home (usually through the buyer's agent), you and your agent can propose a counteroffer if you want. The counteroffer process can go back and forth until you reach an agreement, one party ends negotiations, or the purchase agreement expires after a certain period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the home seller, you don't have to respond to a potential buyer's offer. If the buyer's offer is extremely low or comes with unreasonable <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/contingent-real-estate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contingencies<\/a>, you can turn down the offer or ignore it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may get multiple offers, which can be exciting! Be sure to consider all elements of an offer, including price, contingencies, and the buyer's ability to close the deal. The best offer may not always be the highest bid. Your agent can help you evaluate your offers and select the best one for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<!--blockstudio\/acf\/content-drawer-->    <div class=\"drawers-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"drawer-panel\">\n            <h3>\n              <button class=\"drawer-trigger\">\ud83e\udd14 What's in a purchase agreement?<\/button>\n            <\/h3>\n            <div class=\"drawer-content\">\n              <div>\n                <p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/what-is-a-real-estate-purchase-agreement-in-depth-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">purchase agreement is a legally binding real estate contract<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that governs the entire home-sale process.

Get an inspection and appraisal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers typically ask for and pay for inspections of the property. If the inspector finds issues, sellers have no contractual obligation to make any repairs \u2014 especially to <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/real-estate-blog\/reasonable-requests-after-home-inspection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unreasonable buyer inspection requests<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a seller who refuses to work with a buyer on repairs risks the buyer terminating the deal and seeking another home in better condition or with a better price for a similar condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Damaged roof shingles, HVAC problems, and plumbing leaks are common repair requests made by United States home buyers. If possible, deal with these kinds of issues beforehand to speed up the closing process and potentially get a more valuable appraisal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The appraisal process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/listwithclever.com\/how-do-appraisals-really-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">real estate appraisal<\/a>, which typically comes after the inspection process, establishes a property's fair market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mortgage lender will typically order the appraisal for the home. Licensed appraisers perform the appraisals and create detailed reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An appraisal is the only valuation report a lender considers when deciding whether to lend money to a buyer.
