FSBO Risks

How Team Hardy offers more value to a seller that is attempting a do-it-yourself?

Do the math, why would a homeowner take on For Sale By Owner? FSBO sellers often sell their home without assistance to avoid paying commission, according to the National Association of Realtor’s® 2013 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers.‡

What the FSBO seller might not know is that, according to the report, the typical FSBO home sold for $184,000 compared to $230,000 for agent-assisted home sales. That 22% difference in sale price would give those seller’s extra money, even after commission.‡

Homes sell for more when a real estate professional is involved, but why?

Real Estate Agents may know the answer to this question, but the seller considering FSBO or already trying to sell their own home may not.

Pricing Experience:

Team Hardy has access to more than a million comparable properties. When we list a home, we are able to quickly pull the information needed to properly price your home, including information not available on consumer websites like the amount of Seller Assist that was hidden in the sale.

We not only have access to this information, we know how to use it, based on years of experience in Omaha’s real estate market.

Exclusive Market Insight:

Team Hardy knows if buyers are active in your area market? We know how many properties are currently competing with your property? As a FSBO this is not information you can access online.

We have 25-years experience in marketing and contract negotiation. That’s real-life marketing that includes graphic design, marketing and photography for Fortune 100 clients.

We can give you a glimpse into your market and determine the top-end sale price that market will bear.

Professional Marketing and Connections:

As real estate professionals, Team Hardy has connections we can use to find a qualified buyer.

In addition to the professional marketing and connections you would offer, every listing we have is automatically syndicated in dozens of real estate search engines, as well as getting its own page on our website that we professionally design, market and track for hits.

Our marketing not only taps into the syndicated real estate websites and the Omaha-Area Multiple Listing Service, we market across a wide social media platform with thousands of followers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and our very own blog. Traffic to our site alone gives you a huge advantage over any other typical agent’s offerings.
