Question 8

Why full services package is recommended over the FSBO one?

Accepted Answer

Some of FSBO sellers struggle and ask for help and consultations during the sale process, and some buyer’s agents feel more comfortable working the deal through a licensed agent who is equipped and understands the complexities of modern Real Estate transactions and how to incorporate legal and financial attributes and assure a smother transaction. I think deciding whether to go with the full service package or the FSBO MN package depends on how fully confident you are to handle all of the details.

Question 15

What are the disadvantages of over pricing my house?

Accepted Answer

Well, several factors may come into play:
• You might help sell similar homes that are priced lower.
• Your home may be on the market longer.
• You could lose market interest and qualified buyers.
• You might create a negative impression of the property.
• You could lose money as a result of making extra mortgage payments while incurring taxes, insurance and unplanned maintenance costs.
• You may have to accept less money.
• A potential buyer may face appraisal and financing problems resulting from the inflated price.
It is not recommended to sell your home any higher than the appraised value unless demand is high in your area. Ask your real estate agent which price would be right for your home. Also make sure you get a Home Value Request to assist in determining the best sales price for your home. Additionally, consider working with flat fee real estate agents to save on commission costs while still receiving professional services.

Question 16

If I list with a flat fee Realty, am I scarifying the services that a traditional agent is offering for 6%?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely Not, charging 6% commission has become an outdated business model, with today’s technology the process of selling home has become easier and most cost effective and unlike big companies we control our overhead and administrative costs and we proudly passing the savings to our clients. Whether you decide to go with our full service or For sale by owner package you will get the same marketing & exposure you need to sell your property.

Question 17

Will buyer’s agent refuse to show a FSBO listing?

Accepted Answer

Often, it comes down to whether the buyer’s agent will get paid or not, and since listing a house on the MLS requires the listing agent to publish a commission for buyer’s agents therefore, the buyer’s agents are willing to show and work with FSBO homes listed on the MLS.
On the other hand, one of the fiduciary duties that any agents owe to their clients is obedience, meaning if buyers are searching online and saw a house they like, they ask their agent to show them the house and the agent is obligated to do so. If you’re considering this route, you might want to search for "FSBO homes near me" to explore local options.
