  1. How Do I Sell My House Without An Agent How Do I Sell My House Without An Agent in Austin, Houston, Round Rock, Pflugerville, San Marcos, Cedar Park or Hutto? If you’re looking to sell your house or investment property in Austin, Houston, or surrounding areas such as Round Rock, Pflugerville or Georgetown without using a real estate agent, we can help. Although we do cooperate with brokers and real estate agents, sometimes it’s best to avoid paying someone to be in the middle. After all times are changing and what agents do are less in demand. You can now even list for 1% on some internet sites but why even pay that. Sell directly to the end buyer like us. After all, paying 5-6% of the sale of a property in a commission is a lot of money. In certain situations, Austin area and Houston area brokers and real estate agents can be very useful and earn their commission. Not always. Most of the time especially in a hot market they just type your address into a database called MLS and you do most of the work online. They are just gatekeepers. How Do I Sell My House Without An Agent in Austin or Houston? There are a few ways to avoid paying high commissions in your Austin or Houston home sale. First, there’s a unique custom thatyou’ve gotta know about. In most sales in Austin and Houston, roughly half of the commission you pay as the seller goes to pay for the buyer’s broker. Doesn’t make much sense, right? Why should you pay for the agent on the other side of the table? Truthfully, it isn’t fair and doesn’t make much sense–it’s just what’s typically done. This can be used to your advantage in more ways than one. First, you should factor in the commissions paid when you’re looking at the comparable sales. If the properties similar to yours sold for prices that included commissions, take that into account.

  2. Don’t underprice your property– be aware that a savvy buyer may expect to take a discount too. If you’re doing the work of one agent, you can expect to save that money. Use that as a negotiation tool to lower your price or just take it immediately off the price of your house as most buyers will be epecting a discount if you’re not using an agent who just siphons off money off your deal. Sometimes in Austin or Houston, buyers who aren’t represented by an agent won’t remember to negotiate the buyer’s side commission out of the price for themselves, so don’tremind them if you don’t want to pay them. Just don’t be surprised if it comes up during the negotiation. You may want to consider offering 2.5% to buyer’s agents who will bring their clients to show your property. Sure, it’s a lot of money. If you’re pricing your property including that commission, you can always negotiate a better deal for a purchaser who comes without an agent. On the other hand, if you don’t leave room for the buyer’s agent’s commission, you’ll be excluding most of the buyers in the market in Austin and Houston. Over 90% of transactions happen through the MLS–that’s the Multiple ListingService. It’s the main database that all the brokers in Austin, Houston, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Baytown, Round Rock, Hutto, Manor, San Marcos, Dayton, New Caney, Porter, Humble, Atascocita, and Kingwood use to access information for their customers on the houses, condos, land and investment properties for sale, along with data on the sold prices. Once upon a time, you had to pay a full commission to get your property on the MLS. Now in Austin and Houston, there are a few brokers who will charge you a fee just to list your property on the MLS. Often, you spend a few hundred bucks and you only pay a commission if the sale closes. Compared to the cost of a newspaper ad, the MLS is a cheap way to market your property to a very wide audience. All the major real estate search sites like Realtor.com, Zillow, Yahoo Homes, etc. get data from the MLS. Chances are good that when you submit your listing in Austin and Houston to the MLS, information on your property will end up on most of the major sites within a few days. That is why its called the MLS or Multiple Listing Service. Each of those sites sells ads. They’ve got packages that let you pay to enhance your listing, feature it at the top of the search, and a lot of other bells and whistles that might or might not get an interested buyer to buy your property. Advertising is a gamble. Sometimes open houses in Austin or Houston, Texas can be a great way to sell a property, and sometimes they’re a waste of time. Same with newspaper ads, craigslist postings, fancy signs – sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. To effectively sell your property on your own, you have to market it well. Putting up fliers and signs around your neighborhood can generate some calls, and there’s a lot of free websites where you can post information. But often just putting up flyers and an open house isn’t enough if your house doesn’t appeal to the average home buyer. In theory, real estate agents charge big commissions because they have to spend a lot of money up front to advertise your property. By advertising lots of properties at once, they expect to get more phone calls – and obviously, they’ll make good profits by selling lots of houses. Certain properties might require thousands of dollars in advertising expenses before the right buyer happens to see the ad and call.
