Why FSBO Sellers Are Leaving Money on the Table

Thinking of selling your home on your own? Read this before leaving money on the table.

If your home is listed as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) on Zillow or other online platforms, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of homeowners attempt to sell independently in hopes of saving on commission. But the data is clear: most FSBO properties sell slower, with more stress, and for significantly less than those listed with a professional Realtor.

That’s where I come in.

I'm Eric Radecki, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson in Connecticut and New York, proudly affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty, LLC—one of the most respected real estate brands in the world. I specialize in helping homeowners in towns like Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Norwalk, and surrounding Fairfield County communities sell residential homes quickly and profitably.

The Hidden Costs of FSBO

While listing your home independently might seem like a cost-effective strategy, FSBO listings often experience:

• Reduced Buyer Exposure: Only a fraction of serious buyers browse FSBO listings. Most rely on Realtors and MLS-syndicated websites.
• Pricing Mistakes: Without hyper-local market analysis, many FSBO sellers either overprice and sit stale or underprice and lose value.
• Legal and Contractual Risks: Negotiating offers, managing inspections, disclosures, and closings without representation can expose you to legal issues.
• Weaker Negotiation Power: Professional agents often outperform FSBO sellers in negotiating price, terms, and buyer contingencies.
