Thinking about selling your home yourself to save on commission? 🤔

A lot of homeowners assume FSBO (For Sale By Owner) means more money in their pocket — but the numbers may surprise you.

In this week’s Did You Know? Real Talk w/ Nina & Christine, we break down:
✔ Why FSBO homes often sell for less
✔ The hidden risks sellers don’t think about
✔ NJ inspections, disclosures & township requirements
✔ Why many FSBO sellers eventually hire an agent anyway

According to National Association of REALTORS® data:
🏡 Agent-assisted homes sold for a median of $425,000
🏡 FSBO homes sold for a median of $360,000

That’s about a $65,000 difference.

If you’re thinking about selling in NJ, watch this before making a decision.
