What exactly does “…CAN net you 13% more than FSBO’ing” mean? Are there statistics supporting it?
Hi Doug,
Thanks for reaching out to us. The data we used to make this Infographic comes from NAR’s Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Chapter 8 in the report is specifically about FSBOs. The 13% statistic that you see here is the difference in prices netted between a FSBO and an Agent Assisted sale.
An updated version of this Infographic, made with the data from the most recent Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, can be found here: http://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2016/06/24/thinking-you-should-fsbo-think-again-infographic/
Another example of the difference that using an Agent can make can be found here: http://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2016/07/06/2-tips-for-getting-the-most-money-when-selling-your-house/
If there is anything else we can help you with, please feel free to reach out!
