Umm. Don't panic...but if you’re thinking of selling FSBO, you may be giving buyers a Black Friday Deal on your home. Here’s why:

The average FSBO home sold for $260,000 in 2020.
The average agent-assisted home sold for $318,000 in 2020.

That’s a difference of $58,000, folks! Factor in agent commissions ($19K), and you still have a difference of $40,000 when you use the professional services of an agent.

(Not to mention agent homes sold on average 20 days faster than FSBO listings that were forced to renew on the MLS.)

The Black Friday takeaway? If you’re thinking of selling, don’t leave thousands on the table that should be in your pocket.

Work with an agent who knows your neighborhood, the market, and how to price your home just right.

And while you may say you love them all the same, I’m guessing you've got one spot you love just a tad bit more than the rest.

Does some place come to mind? I’d love to know - where is YOUR favorite spot to spend time? What do you love about it?

New paint is nice. So is fresh mulch, seasonal color, and some DIY staging. But those? They’re the gravy on the turkey, the bacon on the Brussels sprouts, the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie...

What’s NOT extra when it comes to selling your home?

• A roof in pristine condition
• Foundation, walls, and chimney free of cracks and separation.
• An electrical system void of short-circuiting and outdated wiring.
• Pipes and plumbing operate sans leaks, clogs, and drips.
• An HVAC humming along just as it should.

If you’re thinking of selling this winter or spring, first focus on the issues that would keep your home from passing inspection. Then, consider the extras.
