With More Homes on the Market, Should You DIY Your Home Sale?

Think you'll save money by skipping an agent and selling your home yourself? Last year, homes sold with an agent went for almost 15% more than those sold without one. That's tens of thousands of dollars you could be leaving on the table. And with more homes on the market than we've seen in years, this isn't a market for DIY selling.

Hi, I'm Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years.

Today's buyers are much pickier, competition is fierce, and selling takes strategy. That means precision pricing, expert staging, professional marketing, and tough negotiation skills, things most For Sale By Owner sellers simply don't bring to the table. Zillow found that 21% of FSBO sellers ended up hiring an agent anyway after struggling on their own.

I'm Tanja Odzak, and I've sold over $100 million worth of homes with a decade of experience in the East Bay. If you want to sell for top dollar and avoid costly mistakes, let's talk about how to get your home sold right the first time.
