How to sell your house without a Realtor^® in Tampa.

Paying a real estate agent 6% of the profits on the sale of your house is not a fun prospect. If your house sells for $200,000, that means the Realtor^® walks away with $12,000. What could you do with that hefty chunk of cash? $12,000 would pay for a family of four to vacation in Hawaii. You could pay off bills, give money to charity, invest it, or use it for a down payment on your next house. 

Saving on Realtor^® commissions is the main reason people would rather sell their house without the services of a real estate agent. If you are considering selling a house without a Realtor^®, you have a couple of options. 

Selling a house in Tampa FSBO

If you decide to go the FSBO (for sale by owner) route, it’s important to consider a few facts before you commit to this option. Selling FSBO is a lot of work and takes up a lot of time. If you have hobbies, or you enjoy watching movies or sports, you’ll have to put those pastimes on the back burner while you work to sell your house. 

A Tampa house sits on the market an average of 54 days and gets 6 offers, according to Redfin. FSBO houses generally stay longer on the market before selling, so it isn’t a fast process. 

When you sell FSBO, you’ll go through all the steps that you’d go through if you had a Realtor^®. The difference is that you will have to take on the entire burden of the sale yourself. Unfortunately, you probably don’t have all the knowledge and experience a Realtor^® has. In order to get a Florida real estate license, a person must complete 63 hours of instruction or have a 4-year degree in real estate, then pass an exam.  

Selling a house without a Realtor^® the FSBO way requires a lot of research. You will have to gain a lot of that knowledge on your own. Everything from staging a house, to hiring the right photographer, to negotiations and closing, and all the legal paperwork will be your sole responsibility. It’s a lot to learn. 

Just like selling with a Realtor^®, you’ll have to get your house in great shape to sell with FSBO. Although Tampa is a seller’s market, inflation and high mortgage rates are making people particularly fussy and sometimes demanding. To be competitive, your house should be in terrific shape, with great curb appeal and no repairs or updates needed.
