FSBO OR REALTOR®?
WHICH PATH HELPS YOU KEEP MORE EQUITY?
The right choice depends on your goals, experience, timeline, and willingness to manage the selling process. Compare your options before making a decision.
Which Path Is Right For You?
Compare the four primary ways to sell your Las Vegas home.
FSBO
Maximum control and commission savings
No listing commission, direct buyer negotiation, full control of showings.
Requires significant time, effort, and real estate knowledge.
High potential, but depends on pricing accuracy.
Traditional REALTOR®
Hands-off, full-service support
Professional marketing, negotiation expertise, time savings.
Highest cost option (typically 5-6% total commission).
Often yields a higher sale price, but costs reduce net proceeds.
Flat Fee MLS
MLS exposure without full commission
Maximum buyer visibility, lower upfront cost, retain control.
Still requires managing showings and negotiations.
Excellent balance of exposure and commission savings.
Cash Offer
Speed, certainty, and convenience
Close in days, no repairs, no showings, no contingencies.
Offers are typically below market value.
Lowest net proceeds in exchange for maximum convenience.
Understand The Real Costs
Commission is only one variable. Pricing strategy, negotiation, exposure, and execution all affect final net proceeds.
