Empowering Sellers to DSIY — Do Some of It Yourself

A decade ago, 9 out of 10 first-time home sellers considered selling For Sale By Owner or FSBO. A more recent source estimated that number at 7 out of 10, but the National Association of Realtors claim that less than 1 in 10 actually sell on their own. What’s the disconnect and why, particularly in overheated markets like Greater Boston — Cambridge and Somerville in particular — where homes seem to sell themselves? Invite listeners to share this episode with anyone they know who maybe thinking about selling their home in the next two months to two years. At a minimum encourage them to read Zillow’s article on the DSIY Era and let them know that RealEstateCafe offers a Menu of Services “a la carte” so DIY / DSIY buyers and sellers can minimize their transaction costs. If you’re thinking about selling during Spring 2020 or would consider an offer from a local buyer — a real person you can meet offline, join one of peer-to-peer support groups to learn how you can save money.
