I’m selling my house, for the last 5 weeks or so I have been trying to do a for sale by owner. I’m listed on Zillow and Trulia. My wife is posting it on WhatsApp groups and Facebook groups. We are getting people to come see the house, even had 2 offers (they fell through cause of some contingencies the buyers wanted).
I’m getting lots of calls from realtors, they keep saying they have buyers, they want to come see the house. When do they come all they do is try to convince me to list with them. I have offered to pay them a buyers commission of 1.75%-2%. Once I officially reject them to list my house with them I usually don’t hear back from them.
My question is should I go with a realtor, these days with Zillow and all the social media I just don’t see what they would do different. Also paying them a 3-4% commission for a house in Brooklyn seems kinda steep. Any other DDers that sold a house FSBO, any tips you can give me? It’s just so shocking to me that some realtors still want a 6% commission, I have had a few realtors offer me 3%.
