Thinking about selling your Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe area home without a real estate agent? You might want to think again. While social media is buzzing with stories like, “I sold my house without an agent and made a fortune!” the reality is much different for most sellers.
New research reveals a shocking truth: sellers who go solo typically earn $79,000 less than those who use an agent. That’s right—a recent survey by Clever Real Estate shows that sellers who work with an agent make way more money, thanks to the agent’s expertise and negotiation skills.
But the benefits don’t end there. Here’s what else the survey found:
- 54% of FSBO sellers regret their decision: The majority of those who tried to sell without an agent wish they hadn’t.
- More dissatisfaction: Agent-less sellers were more likely to report dissatisfaction with their sale price and the overall process.
- Mispricing is common: Nearly half of FSBO sellers admitted to pricing their home wrong, while represented sellers benefited from accurate agent pricing strategies.
