Thinking of Selling on Your Own - READ THIS!!

• Potential buyers will also be looking to save on the commission that you will avoid by selling your property on your own. At best, you should be thinking in terms of saving only half of the commission.
• You will have substantial out-of-pocket costs on your own that listed properties do not incur, such as advertising.
• You may undervalue your house and lose thousands of dollars in net proceeds.
• You may find yourself uncomfortable with the burden of allowing strangers into your home.
• Unless you are a seasoned negotiator, you may give away more at the bargaining table than you would have paid in commissions with an experienced agent.
