They go as far as to tell homeowners:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>\"BuyOwner.com allows you to reach the most potential buyers in the shortest amount of time, in the most effective (the Internet) and most cost effective manner (no commission!) possible.\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\n\u003Cstrong>Let’s break down that statement:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Myth #1 – The internet is the most effective way to sell your home\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nMany have said that, with the introduction of home search on the internet, hiring an agent is no longer a necessity. When the time came to list his own home, Bennati went against his own advice saying:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>\"To sell a home of this magnitude, it needs to be done by a person and a company that reaches buyers of this caliber.\"\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Myth #2 – FSBO’ing is the most cost effective solution\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nWithout proper exposure to the “right kind of buyers” your home will not sell. Many real estate professionals have elaborate strategies to get your listing in front of exactly who needs to see it.\r\n\r\nThe most recent \u003Cstrong>Home Sellers’ and Buyers’ Profile Report\u003C\u002Fstrong> from the \u003Cem>National Association of Realtors\u003C\u002Fem> revealed that, though 92% of buyers search for a home on the internet, 90% still use a real estate professional.\r\n\r\nThis isn’t the first time that a CEO of a major FSBO website has enlisted the help of an agent when the time came to sell their own home. In August of 2011 it was \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fonline.wsj.com\u002Fnews\u002Farticles\u002FSB10001424053111903341404576484352486553740\">reported\u003C\u002Fa> that Colby Sambrotto of forsalebyowner.com who, after failing to sell his home using FSBO websites, needed an agent to sell his NYC apartment.\r\n\r\nAnd, he got more money!!!!\r\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>Bottom Line\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nTwo separate people made fortunes convincing others to sell their home through their FSBO sites. Yet, \u003Cem>when it came to selling their own home\u003C\u002Fem>, they recognized the value of using a real estate professional.\r\n\r\nThere is a reason the real estate industry has been around for centuries: it performs a valuable service.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.keepingcurrentmatters.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2014\u002F05\u002FConfusion2.jpg",false,[16],{"id":17,"name":18,"slug":19},6,"Para los vendedores","sellers","2014-05-20T10:00:51Z","2014-05-19T19:36:37Z",{"id":23,"slug":24,"title":25,"featuredImage":11,"publishedAt":26,"contentType":10,"isVideo":14},44,"selling-a-house-fanniemae-suggests-you-use-an-agent","(English) Selling a House?
