Legacy seller guide

The pros, cons, and pitfalls of three ways to sell.

Compare listing with an agent, selling by owner, and selling directly to a professional home buyer—including costs that can be easy to miss.

List with a real estate agent

A capable agent can market the property broadly and may help pursue retail price potential. Consider preparation, repairs, showings, broker compensation, closing costs, holding costs, inspection negotiations, appraisal, financing, and the time required.

Sell it yourself

For-sale-by-owner can avoid some broker costs, but the owner takes responsibility for pricing, marketing, inquiries, showings, disclosures, contracts, buyer qualification, and coordination with title and closing professionals.

Sell to a professional home buyer

A direct buyer may offer more speed and convenience, an as-is sale, fewer showings, and no agent commission. The tradeoff is that the offer may be below the retail price potential because repairs, holding costs, and transaction risk are considered.
