Selling a Home for Sale by Owner in NJ

Selling a property For Sale By Owner (also known as FSBO), without representation by a real estate agent is not a difficult process. The biggest challenge for most FSBO's is exposing their home where home buyers are searching.

This step is the most important factor on whether a home sells or not. The reason for selling by owner for most people is to keep more money, but if buyers can't find your home for sale, the process will be a failure. This is where your local REALTOR® MLS comes into play.

According to Pat Vaughan Tremmell of Northwestern University, "While the MLS does not deliver a higher price, it does offer a higher probability of a quick sale, within 60 or 90 days. In addition, roughly 20 percent of FSBO listings end up re-listing in the MLS, which translates into a longer time on the market, roughly 68 more days. Thus, one of the advantages of MLS is a shorter time to sale, which translates into savings (on mortgage, taxes and insurance)."

The fact is, most home buyers will contact a local REALTOR® to assist them in there home search. Your Local MLS is the leading source of real estate for sale in any community. Listing on the MLS will also provide the added bonus of being posted on the one of the largest real estate websites in the world - REALTOR.com®
