Sellers are turning to agents to help sell their homes at higher rates than in the past – 88 percent of home sales were agent-assisted compared to 82 percent in 2004.
Only nine percent of recent sellers reported selling their homes as a FSBO – sales have dropped rapidly from 2003 when they were at 14 percent.
Understanding and performing the paperwork was the most difficult task reported by FSBO sellers, followed by getting the price right and preparing and fixing up the home for sale.
