Real Estate Agents provide many wonderful services. What ever your reasons are for not listing your home, it should not keep you from taking advantage of all the free services many agents provide to FSBOs. They have a lot of programs that will help you. Some will even do a market analysis free of charge and offer suggestions. Many will call and want to see your home. You may even decide to have an agreement to pay them a smaller percentage if they bring a buyer. Use these services and leave your options open. Let them come to see your home.

Why do they do this. Again, it is a win/win situation. Three out of every 5 people that try to sell their home on their own will eventually list it with an agent. The agents are trying to build rapport so if you change your mind you will list with them. This also gives you a good look at the agents in your area.

Only 2 out of every 10 agents that look at your home will ever follow up again. If you list later, you want an agent that will follow up on every prospect! Also, you just might run into an agent that really does have a buyer for your home. Leave your options open and take advantage of every asset available to you.
