Selling By Owner: Save a Dime, Lose a Dollar
It’s easy to understand the appeal of ‘For Sale By Owner’ (FSBO). Why pay a licensed real estate agent a commission when you can pocket that money yourself? After all, it’s a seller’s market, right? Well, it turns out there are plenty of reasons you should still consider signing with a broker - and probably at least a few you haven’t considered. Join us as we discuss: - The basics of broker contracts and commissions - How a licensed real estate agent can protect you from unforeseen liability - The recent bump in interest rates and how it affects homeowners Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: - RE/MAX United - Andrew Noegel - Call or text Tom Didier at 414-881-3290 - Call or text Andrew Noegel at 414-416-7161 You can find this interview and many more by subscribing to Home Selling Hero on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
