Before You Sell Privately, Consider the Full Picture

Many homeowners consider selling privately to save on commission. Before making a decision, it’s important to understand the responsibilities involved and how factors can affect your final outcome.

Are You Really Saving on Commission?

Commission savings can be appealing, but the true cost often comes from missed exposure, under pricing, weaker negotiations, and limited buyer reach.

Do You Understand Current Market Conditions?

Looking at nearby listings is only part of the picture. Local market trends, inventory levels, buyer demand, and timing all influence your home’s potential sale price.

Are You Prepared to Handle Every Inquiry?

Selling privately often means managing calls, showings, negotiations, paperwork, and buyer screening yourself. Consider whether you have the time and availability to oversee every stage of the transaction.

Selling Privately vs. Working With a REALTOR®

Both approaches can be successful depending on your situation. Understanding the differences can help you decide which option best matches your needs and expectations.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

  • MLS® exposure may be limited without using a brokerage or flat-fee MLS® service
  • Responsible for pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork
  • Requires significant time, availability, and market knowledge
  • Full control over communication and scheduling
  • Potential savings on listing-side commission
  • May be suitable when a buyer has already been identified

Working With a REALTOR®

  • Professional pricing strategy backed by current comparable sales data and local market analysis
  • Exposure through MLS®, REALTOR.ca, and additional marketing channels
  • Skilled negotiation of offers, conditions, inspections, and closing terms
  • Professional photography, video tours, and marketing support
  • Reduced stress through full transaction management
  • Commission and service agreements vary by REALTOR® and brokerage

Important: Every home sale is unique. Results depend on property type, location, market conditions, pricing strategy, and buyer demand.

    Do it Alone, or Use a REALTOR?

    Do it Alone, or Use a REALTOR®?

    The fact is, most people who try to sell their own home end up using a REALTOR® in the end anyway. Before anybody decides to fly solo through this complex, time consuming and financially perilous process, they should consider these questions.

    Will you really “save” the real estate commission?
    When buyers see a home for sale ‘by the owner’, they see a bargain. They imagine the REALTORS® fee going into their pocket, not yours.

    Are you familiar with real estate law?
    Complicated and ever changing, real estate law governs nearly every phase of selling your home.
    One wrong move and an entire deal can fall through, or worse, a lawsuit can ensue.

    How many potential buyers will you reach?
    Selling a home takes more than just hanging a “For Sale” sign. How will you promote your home? Will you write your own ads? How will you use the Internet, knowing that you’ll have no inside access to www.mls.ca and therefore will not be able to post your home on this service?

    Do you have the time?
    Promoting a home is a full time job, and you may already have one. Will you be able to take calls at any time? How about screening the callers to figure out if they’re qualified to buy your home?
    Not everybody who calls is even suitable to walk through your home, but how do you tell?

    Do you know the market well enough to get the most for your home?
    Lacking years of experience, the average do-it-yourselfer is merely guessing at their listing price. Often they set the price too low and miss out on thousands of dollars, or they price their home too high and drive away willing buyers.

    What about your selling skills?
    If the personalities of prospective buyers rub you the wrong way, can you still deal with them effectively? What about your own defensiveness when you hear negative comments about your home? Best to keep it at arms length through a REALTOR®.

    Do you have the negotiation skills to keep a deal on track?
    When an offer comes in, emotions can run high with so much money on the line. This is why direct seller-to-buyer deals often end in disaster. REALTORS® keep it professional and are indispensable when it comes to bargaining with buyers.
