Thinking about selling your home without a real estate agent? You’re not alone. The “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) route might seem like a way to save money, but in today’s shifting market, it’s becoming clear: going solo can cost you more than you think.

Here’s the reality: more sellers are realizing that having a trusted pro in their corner is the smarter move—and the numbers back it up.

FSBO Is Fizzling Out—and Fast

According to the latest report from the National Association of Realtors, FSBO sales just hit an all-time low. And even among the few who still try it, three out of four admit they’re not confident it’s the right call. Why? Because selling a home in this market takes more than a sign in the yard and a Zillow post. It takes strategy. It takes expertise. It takes someone who’s done this before—many times.

Pricing Is Not a Guessing Game

Let’s get real: you can’t just slap a price tag on your home and hope for the best. In a market that’s still correcting itself, pricing too high means you’ll sit—and pricing too low means you leave money on the table.

Agents know what buyers are paying right now, not last year or in the house down the street. They know the comps, the trends, and how to price to attract offers fast. Think of it like trying to bake a cake without a recipe—you might get lucky, but chances are, it’s not going to turn out like the picture.

Contracts, Contingencies, and Closing—Oh My

Selling your home isn’t just about finding a buyer. It’s about navigating stacks of legal documents that, if done wrong, can open the door to lawsuits, delays, or worse. When buyers start throwing in contingencies, requesting repairs, or asking for concessions, things get complicated—fast.

This is where a real estate agent shines. They’ve walked this path a hundred times, and they’ll make sure everything’s filled out properly, filed on time, and done by the book.

Want to Sell Fast? You Need Firepower

Yes, more homes are hitting the market. But that means buyers have more choices—and that means you need to stand out. Spoiler alert: FSBO listings don’t usually cut it.

Agents come loaded with professional marketing tools, massive networks, and strategies that work. From social media promotion to staging advice and killer listing photos, they’ll make sure your home gets the attention it deserves.

Selling Is a Team Sport

Today’s market isn’t impossible—but it is different. You need to move with confidence and have someone in your corner who knows the plays. A great real estate agent brings strategy, safety, and speed to your sale.

So before you go it alone, ask yourself: Would you climb a mountain without a guide? Then why sell your biggest asset without one?
