Benefits of NOT Selling Your Home on the Open Market
December 5, 2019
There are so many hassles that come along with trying to sell your home on the open market. But many homeowners aren’t even aware that there’s another way! Let’s explore some of the reasons why it would be worth your time to avoid selling your home on the open market and look at alternative options.
No Realtor Fees
The average amount that homeowners end up paying their listing agent to sell their home is around 6%. On a $150,000 that would end up being around $9,000.
No Repairs Needed
Realtors will always suggest a number of repairs and upgrades that your home will need in order to get it ready to show. The average cost for that ranges widely depending on the repairs and upgrades that are needed.
No Home Showings
Forget about trying to turn your living space into a model home every weekend by cleaning and organizing when the realtor comes to show your home.
Sell on your Timeline!
When your house is listed by an agent, you have no clue how many days it will actually be sitting on the market. It could take months.
