Fifty-nine percent of homeowners that used a REALTOR® to sell their home were successful vs. 39% of FSBO’s, reflecting a 50% higher closing rate for those home sellers using a REALTOR®.

Eighty-one percent of homeowners that used a REALTOR® to try and sell their homes said they would use a REALTOR® again for their real estate needs.

Eighty-eight percent of homeowners who sold their homes using a REALTOR® said they would use a REALTOR® again.

Seventy-one percent of FSBOs who managed to sell their homes on their own said they would try and sell their home on their own again.

“It is especially striking that homeowners fare significantly better in selling their homes using a REALTOR® than selling on their own,” said Louis Cammarosano, General Manager of HomeGain. “Due to that relative success, the level of satisfaction in the home selling process is also higher for home sellers utilizing the services of a REALTOR® than those who try to sell their homes on their own.”

The survey also pointed out that 24% of FSBOs eventually enlisted the aid of a REALTOR® to help sell their homes.
