If you're thinking of selling your home, you might be considering whether to sell it on the open real estate market or off-market. While off-market sales can have their benefits, selling on the open market is often the better option for most sellers. Here are the top ten reasons why:
1. Exposure: When you sell your home on the open market, it will be listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is the primary database that real estate agents use to find homes for their clients. Your home will be seen by a much larger pool of potential buyers, and your listing will also be syndicated to major real estate portals like Zillow and Realtor.com. Great agents will also design custom paid ad campaigns on social media to further increase your home's exposure.
2. Higher Prices: With more buyers seeing your home, you're more likely to receive higher offers, and with more competition, you may even receive multiple offers, driving up the sale price. When there are multiple offers on your home, you as the seller gain leverage to negotiate better terms for yourself.
3. Faster Sales: With more exposure, your home is likely to sell more quickly, as there will be more interested buyers.
4. Professional Assistance: Listing on the open market typically means that you'll have the assistance of a professional real estate agent who can help you with pricing, marketing, and negotiating the sale of your home.
5. Market Knowledge: Real estate agents have their finger on the pulse of the market and can provide valuable insight into how to price and market your home to achieve the best possible outcome.
6. Ease of Showing: Selling on the open market means your home will be available for showings to a wider pool of buyers, making it easier to schedule showings and find a buyer quickly.
7. Legitimacy: The open market adds a layer of legitimacy to your sale. Buyers may be hesitant to purchase a home that is being sold off-market, as they may be concerned about potential scams or hidden issues.
8. Leverage from Multiple Offers: When there are multiple offers on your home, you as the seller gain leverage to negotiate better terms for yourself. This may include higher prices, fewer contingencies, or a faster closing.
9. Closing Assistance: Real estate agents can help you with the closing process, including preparing documents, scheduling inspections and appraisals, and coordinating with the buyer's agent
10. Protection: When you sell on the open market, you have the protection of a legal contract that outlines the terms of the sale and protects your interests.
In conclusion, selling your home on the open real estate market is usually the better choice. By listing your home on the MLS, you can enjoy a wider pool of potential buyers, higher prices, faster sales, professional assistance, market knowledge, ease of showing, legitimacy, leverage from multiple offers, closing assistance, and protection.
