If you are looking to list and sell your Seattle area home, which is probably your largest financial asset, you shouldn’t have to hand over a large portion of your equity to a Seattle area real estate agent.
Our FSBO Assist listing plan is an affordable and effective alternative to paying costly real estate commissions for services you can do yourself and is a good choice as a For-Sale-By-Owner solution.
Nowadays, more and more people looking to sell their Seattle area homes are opting in for this type of home sale. A lot of sellers want more control when selling their Seattle area homes and don’t feel they need a Seattle area real estate agent every step of the way.
With the FSBO Assist listing plan, VerraTerra will publish your Seattle area home listing in the NWMLS and provide you with the materials necessary to have your listing look as professional as a sellSmart! or competitor’s traditional listing. Afterwards, you (the seller) are responsible for further marketing, negotiating offers and managing the entire closing process of your Seattle real estate property.
Sellers who choose this plan should have a thorough knowledge of real estate contracts, be comfortable handling negotiations, conducting market research for pricing, and be willing and able to successfully deal with a wide range of buyers and their agents. We do not recommend the FSBO-Assist listing plan if you are unfamiliar withe the home selling process or have never sold real estate property in the Seattle area.
