Want to
Sell? Hire a Realtor
Home sellers are more than twice as likely to get their homes sold if they use a Realtor®, rather than trying to sell their home on their own, according to a new survey conducted by HomeGain of 400 home owners nationwide from July 31 to Aug. 10. Seventy-three percent of the home owners surveyed said they used a Realtor®.
Home sellers are more than twice as likely to get their homes sold if they use a Realtor®, rather than trying to sell their home on their own, according to a new survey conducted by HomeGain of 400 home owners nationwide from July 31 to Aug. 10. Seventy-three percent of the home owners surveyed said they used a Realtor®.
On the other hand, 21
percent of those surveyed said they tried to sell their home
themselves. The survey found that 66 percent of the home owners who used a
Realtor® were able to successfully sell their home compared to 30 percent of
for-sale-by-owners.
What’s more, the
survey found that 22 percent of the for-sale-by-owners eventually decided to
use a Realtor® to try to sell their home. More than half of those who did were
then able to sell their homes too, the survey found.
“The value of a
Realtor® in a real estate transaction is made strikingly apparent in our 2012
FSBO verses Realtor ® survey of home sellers,” says Louis Cammarosano, general
manager of HomeGain. “A qualified Realtor ® understands the dynamics of the
market and can better assist home sellers in the pricing and preparation of
their homes for sale.”
