The Basics of the Sell
So let's first look at how the traditional methods for selling houses are approached. Most people in recent decades, and currently still, have used Realtors to assist them in the sale of personal residences. The majority of Realtors are trained to do 2 primary tasks: list and sell. Now there's a lot of activity and specialties that can go into these main jobs, but the end goal is always the same: to get out there and get listings and sell, sell, sell. Although most Realtors provide good service to their clients and customers, and provide some level of marketing for their clients properties; because of the way agents are paid from a gross commission structure, agents are less motivated to sell an individual’s home, than moving inventories through transactions. In fact, the homes with the most activity can easily funnel all energies away from their client’s home if it has sat on the market too long (which in many areas is currently getting longer and longer).
The other basic method of selling a home on the open market is For Sale By owner, or FSBO. This is generally for those fearless do-it-yourselfers or folks who are trying to save (or worse, can't afford) a typical 6% real estate agents' commission. Depending on how someone goes about their FSBO, there is still a lot of work and education required to pull this off smoothly. There are some organized groups that assist homeowners with FSBO strategies, but still usually charge a fee that is either staggered based on the home price, or a flat price. The downside to these are that it is definitely a lot more work to get a home prepared for showing, take the calls, make the appointments, handle extra paperwork, pay for the advertising costs and most importantly, not have access the MLS. And yes, there are a few places you someone can purchase MLS services a la carte, but in the long run - unless the homeowner has a strong back bone and don't mind paying for a lot of things themselves, that a real estate agent may typically take care of, then FSBO may not be the quickest way to get a house sold on the market (at least not by itself).......
