Limitations of Exclusive and For Sale By Owner Listings

Don't Limit The Value of Your Home

Listing your home exclusively or FSBO (for sale by owner) will not ensure that you will receive the highest sale price. Here's why:

Limitations of Listing Your Home Exclusively

Keeps your property from being exposed to the broadest market of over 40,000 agents and their buyers
Eliminates the ongoing advertising benefit of having your property available 24/7 to all potential buyers regardless of when they may start looking
Limits marketing to agents affiliated with your listing broker and limits public advertising of the property
Keeps your property off public websites where buyers search for properties

Limitations of Listing Your Home on Your Own

Limited buyer pool resulting in lower sale price in a hot market
Buyers feel uncomfortable viewing property with homeowner
Time consuming
Liability of inaccurate information
Lack of professional photos, video, marketing and more
Not listed on popular real estate search sites, i.e. Realtor.com

-> "The typical FSBO home sold for an average of $70,000 less than agent-assisted home sales."
