What are the benefits of selling your Henderson home with a Realtor vs. FSBO (For Sale By Owner)?
Working with a Realtor gives you professional marketing, negotiation skills, and legal protection. FSBO sellers may save on commission, but they often face longer timelines and lower offers. Deidre Wilson helps Henderson sellers maximize value and minimize stress.

What FSBO Means

FSBO = “For Sale By Owner.”
The homeowner handles pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork without professional help.
Popular with sellers who want to avoid paying Realtor commissions.

Challenges of FSBO Sales

Pricing mistakes: Without MLS data, many FSBO homes are overpriced or underpriced.
Limited exposure: FSBO listings miss out on MLS, Realtor networks, and targeted marketing.
Negotiation hurdles: Buyers often bring their own agents, leaving FSBO sellers at a disadvantage.
Legal risks: Disclosure mistakes or contract errors can lead to lawsuits.

Benefits of Working With a Realtor

3. Negotiation Power

Fewer chances for costly mistakes or delays.
