Going it alone is more difficult than it seems. Paperwork, pricing, and timing are the biggest hurdles facing FSBOs according to a 2007 survey of home buyers and sellers by the Texas Association of Realtors. Working with a realtor, the seller gains an advocate who looks out for the seller's interests throughout the selling process. Can you afford not to partner with a realtor?
Currently, about 30% of home sellers first try to sell on their own. And while some who go the FSBO route are successful, statistics show nearly 80% end up using a realtor or give up all together. I believe most who choose to sell by owner do so in order to maximize the proceeds from their sale.
