FSBO For Sale By Owner: To hire or not to hire a realtor to sell or buy real estate?! Do we really need a realtor in an Ai world? We can just Goolge and get all the info?

 


We are moving into an AI assisted world more and more… It seems that we can do anything online with the assistance of all the digital tools available free of charge!  You can Google how to sell home on your own and Google will tell you what to do or what not to do… etc.?? 

It is certain that you can sell your home on your own without professional representation, however... stats reveal the odds are against you!  “Homeowners who decline to use a real estate agent to sell their property are twice as likely to say they weren’t satisfied with the selling experience because they realize that they made less money on their home sale and faced more stress by not having real estate agent."  (Realtor,  Sellers who regret not using a real estate agent, Winter 2024).

Other than the monetary issue, sellers (FSBO) revealed:

  • Buyers distrusted them because they didn’t have an agent.
  • They struggled to understand their contract.
  • They made legal mistakes.

In summery, homeowners who sold thier home withouth a real estate professiong noted the following (Realtor, Sellers who regret not using a real estate agent, Winter 2024):

  • Lower sales price 
  • Longer selling process
  • More stress

Still wondering if selling on your own is the best option for you but... would like to at least know about the alternative?  Reach out to me today and I will gladly show you the details and help you make the informed decision!

 Wish you good luck in your real estate journey,

First blog post!

  Hello there, I am so thrilled to write my first blog post for this blog platform!  I have decided to create this blog... because so many people ask me what the real estate market is like... And I thought it would be a good idea for me to write about real estate market trends so that people can make informed decisions.  Writing about blog posts on the latest real estate trends will be beneficial to me as well; I will be encouraged more to learn & reflect about the fast changing real estate market and the overall global economy, which is always an important factor to take account of.  Please stay tuned to the next blog post and wish you all the best in your real estate journey! Best, Young Jin Chun, Lic. Real Estate Salesperson
