Other Reasons Why You Need a Realtor To Sell Your Central Texas Home
- Scams Happen – Common scams examples: fraudulent papers, foreign buyer deposits, purchases through a third-party (fake attorney) and asking for personal information
- Liability is all on the seller. A seller (orbuyer) that doesn’t have the representation of a licensed agent pays for those mistakes.
- The paperwork is daunting. In a NAR survey, Buyers and Sellers showed that understanding paperwork was one of the most difficult tasks for a FSBO.
- Sellers can get stuck in a bad deal. Many times the seller doesn’t understand the terms of the contract and can be stuck in a bad deal if not represented.
- FSBO’s Sell for Less – Ouch! In a recent 2015 NAR survey, FSBO’s lost about 16 percent of the sales price because they were undedicated about market conditions.
- Inspections are problematic. Seller who doesn’t know the rules can get stuck with unnecessary and costly repairs because they are not represented by a knowledgeable agent.
