Why Selling a Home Without a Realtor Can Cost You More

In a market as competitive as Metro Atlanta’s, selling without a professional can actually cost you more in time, stress, and lost money.

💰 1. You Might Leave Serious Money on the Table

Statistically, homes sold without an agent sell for 5–6% less on average than those listed with one. Even just a 2–3% higher sale price can more than cover commission costs.

📉 2. Limited Marketing = Limited Offers

DIY sellers miss out on MLS exposure to thousands of agents, Zillow Showcase (a premium listing option), and strategic digital marketing.

⚖️ 3. You’re on Your Own Legally & Logistically

Selling real estate involves managing disclosures and inspections, understanding and negotiating contracts, and navigating appraisal gaps and financing hurdles.

🚪 4. Open Houses & Access Just Got More Complicated

Due to the recent NAR settlement, hosting professional open houses is more important than ever.
