FSBO = For Sale By Owner

Trying to sell your own home is like watching a slow-motion train wreck you’re driving.

At first, you feel brilliant “Look at me, saving commission!”

A week in, you’re drowning in legalese, disclosure forms, and random buyers texting you at midnight asking if you’ll take half your asking price.

By month two, the strangers wandering through your house have given you whiplash one loves the kitchen but hates the street."

Another asks if the roof “comes with it,” then someone tries to pay in cryptocurrency.

Somewhere between your third no-show showing and your second lowball offer, it hits you: this isn’t a side hustle…

It’s a full-time, high-stakes negotiation sport.

Most FSBO sellers last about 90 days before calling a pro.

My advice? Skip the heartbreak, the bad offers, and the legal headaches.

Start with an agent and save yourself the 3-month crash course in why they exist.

More than half of all homes are selling for less than their asking price, as buyers gain leverage in a weaker housing market, according to a new report.

In May, total home sales dropped 15% compared to last year, while the national median list price stayed steady at $495,000 and mortgage rates hovered near 7%, according to a new analysis by real estate analytics firm Cotality.

With fewer buyers in the market, sellers are starting to lower prices, 56% of homes sold below their asking price in May, the report revealed.

“Savvy buyers are now in a market that is primed for negotiations on price reduction, closing cost assistance, and mortgage rate buydowns,” says Cotality senior economist Daniel Boswell. “However, the tilt toward a buyers’ market is only a bright spot for those who have the means to make a move. For many, systemic hurdles such as interest rates and rising insurance costs remain a barrier to homeownership.”

🚨 PSA for homeowners 🚨
Zillow is fun for scrolling at 2am… but when it comes to pricing your home, the “Zestimate” can cost you BIG 💸

👉 Just because the app says your home is worth $750k doesn’t mean the market agrees. List too high, sit for months, and you may walk away with less than if you had priced it right from the start.

That $25,000 mistake? I can help you avoid it.

Home buyers are often more focused on finding the perfect home to buy than they are on finding an agent to help them through the process. It makes sense, since most buyers casually begin searching for houses online months, if not years, ahead of when they’ll actually purchase one. But eventually, ...
