See FSBO Pricing

Using a Realtor (Full‑Service)

Pros
  • Realtors use market data for accurate pricing & remove emotion from decisions.
  • Agents negotiate offers to help you get better terms in some cases.
  • Legal paperwork & compliance are managed, lowering risk & time spent on the sale.
  • Showings, Key boxes, marketing, and open houses are handled for you.
Cons
  • Agents charge 5–6% commission, reducing profits.
  • You have less control over pricing and showings.
  • Finding a good agent can be difficult.
  • Not every realtor delivers— some homes are very hard to sell.
