Alternative ways for a seller to save money other than working with a discount broker

If saving moneyis a top priority for you when selling your home, you have options other than working with a discount broker or low-commission agent.

 

  • Check to see if you are eligible for any credits or incentives. 

For example, if you work in a field that benefits your community, such as education or health care, you may be eligible for discounts from traditional real estate agents through networks such as Homes for Heroes.

 

  • Consider selling your house on your own. 

While a "for sale by owner" strategy requires significantly more work than using an agent, the main benefit is that you would avoid paying the listing agent's fees entirely. However, the median sale price of these homes is lower than that of those sold with the assistance of a real estate agent, according to the NAR. If the buyer is represented by an agent, you must also pay their commission.
