Service Comparison: Realtor vs. Texas
FSBO
Why are FSBOs becoming more popular? In today's market,
more and more people are buying and selling their homes on
their own. Traditionally, realtors were crucial to the
process because they:
-
Were the sources of knowledge and information on
such topics as home values, neighborhoods, schools, and
the local real estate market,
-
Provided home sellers with the means of advertising
their homes,
-
Provided homebuyers with a consolidated database of
existing homes for sale.
Today, all the information a homebuyer or seller needs is
available for free on the Internet. FSBO magazines and
Internet sites provide sellers with far-reaching advertising
outlets for a cost of only a few hundred dollars, and they
provide buyers with a convenient and hassle-free means to
viewing available houses on the market. Paying exorbitant
realtor fees can no longer be justified. YOUR home is YOUR
castle. Don't throw YOUR money away.
