Thinking about selling your house without an agent to “save” on commission? I get it—on paper, it sounds like a smart move. But here’s the problem: the numbers don’t lie. According to recent data, homes sold with an agent went for nearly 15% more than those sold by owners going solo. That’s not pocket change—that’s real money you’re leaving on the table.
And with today’s market? Going FSBO (For Sale By Owner) is like showing up to a chess match with only half the pieces.
This Market’s No Place for Going It Alone
A few years ago, you might’ve gotten away with planting a “For Sale” sign in the yard and waiting for the offers to roll in. But the game has changed. We’re no longer in a “list it and they will come” market.
Inventory is up. Buyers are pickier. Competition is fierce. According to Realtor.com, July saw more homes for sale than any July since 2019. That means buyers can compare—**and skip—**anything that doesn’t look like the best deal on the block.
A few cell phone pics and a Zillow listing? Not going to cut it.
More Homes for Sale Means More Competition for YOU
Today, selling isn’t just about listing—it’s about outshining the other homes in your price range. That means:
- Spot-on pricing to draw in serious buyers (not just lowball offers)
- Expert staging so your home photographs and shows like a model
- Pro-level marketing that goes beyond a yard sign and social media post
- Negotiation skills to protect your profit during inspections and offers
Without these, you’re at a serious disadvantage—especially when buyers have options.
Why More Sellers Are Calling in the Pros
The stats say it all: FSBO sales are at a record low. Even the sellers who try it often end up hiring an agent after struggling to get results. Zillow reports 21% of homeowners who start FSBO wind up bringing in an agent anyway.
So why fight the uphill battle? With the right agent, you get:
- Pricing precision based on your local market—not guesswork
- Expert prep advice to make your home irresistible
- Marketing firepower with access to networks and exposure you can’t buy on your own
- Local insight on how to position your home against the competition
The reality is simple—an agent’s expertise isn’t optional anymore. It’s the secret weapon that helps you walk away with the most money possible.
