FSBO vs. Listing with The Brewer Group: The Real Price Difference
Sellers often hope to save the 5.5–6% commission by going "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO). But numbers show there’s more to consider:
| Sale Type | Avg. Sale Price | Commission Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Agent-Listed (Georgia, 2025) | $435,000 | — |
| FSBO (Georgia, 2025) | $380,000 | $21,000 |
- Selling with an agent often nets $55,000 more (HouseCashin data).
- FSBO homes in Georgia sell faster than national average, but for less.
- Legal mistakes are common — 36% of FSBO sellers face compliance issues.
The Brewer Group’s 10+ years of Georgia market experience helps you price right, avoid legal pitfalls, and get your home in front of the widest pool of buyers. See what’s selling near you on our Georgia property search.
What’s Involved If You Sell Without a Realtor?
FSBO in Georgia isn’t just about putting up a sign and waiting for offers. Here’s what you’ll need to handle:
- Legal: State law requires a real estate attorney for closing; typical fees are $147–$245/hour.
- Disclosure: You must reveal known problems, even though Georgia is a “buyer beware” state.
- MLS Access: Only licensed agents can list on MLS — FSBO sellers pay $100–$300 for flat-fee MLS services, with limited support.
- Marketing: You’ll need professional photos, social media ads, and yard signs for visibility.
- Negotiations: Be ready to handle offers, counteroffers, and contingencies directly with buyers or their agents.
- Paperwork: Draft contracts, manage disclosures, and coordinate closing — all on your own.
It’s doable, but the process is time-intensive and carries risk — especially when it comes to legal documentation and getting your home seen by the right buyers. Many FSBO sellers eventually turn to an agent after facing these hurdles.
