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
