Some sellers choose to sell their homes themselves in order to avoid paying the commission fee that is typically charged. However, what these sellers fail to realize is that REALTORS® get more money for properties compared to for sale by owner transactions.

REALTORS® get more money for properties and they also sell properties faster compared to for sale by owner transactions. There are certain expenses that go hand in hand with owning a home, such as property taxes, property insurance, maintenance, utilities, and mortgage payments. If for sale by owner transactions take longer, you really aren’t saving much when you take these expenses into consideration. Using a REALTOR® to sell your home saves you time and money.
