Selling Smart: Why a Real Estate Agent Makes All the Difference
Thinking about selling your house on your own as a “For Sale by Owner” (FSBO)? Consider whether it’s really worth the extra stress. Handling all the responsibilities alone can quickly become overwhelming and lead to costly mistakes.
A report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) highlights two key areas where FSBO sellers often struggle: pricing and paperwork. Here’s how the Kruse Home Team can make these tasks a whole lot easier.
Get the Price Right with the Kruse Home Team
Setting the right price for your house is crucial. Overpricing or underpricing can make it hard to sell your home. According to NerdWallet:
“When selling a home, first impressions matter. Your house’s market debut is your first chance to attract a buyer, and it’s important to get the pricing right. If your home is overpriced, you run the risk of buyers not seeing the listing… But price your house too low and you could end up leaving some serious money on the table. A bargain-basement price could also turn some buyers away, as they may wonder if there are any underlying problems with the house.”
Our agents at the Kruse Home Team have a deep understanding of the local housing market. We use our expertise to set a price that matches what buyers are willing to pay, giving your house the best chance to impress from the start.
Let the Kruse Home Team Handle the Paperwork
Selling a house involves extensive paperwork and legal documentation that must be accurate. Handling this alone can lead to liability risks and legal complications. As experts in real estate contracts and paperwork, our team guides you through the rules and regulations, reducing the chance of mistakes that might lead to legal problems or delays. As First American explains:
“To buy or sell a home, you need to accurately complete a lot of forms, disclosures, and legal documents. A real estate agent ensures you cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ to help you avoid having a transaction fall through and/or prevent a costly mistake.”
Instead of dealing with the growing pile of documents on your own, let the Kruse Home Team be your advisors, helping you avoid any legal bumps in the road.

Selling a house on your own can cost you a lot of time and stress. Connect with the Kruse Home Team to help with all the finer details, including setting the right price, handling all the paperwork, and much more. Take that stress off your plate and ensure a smooth, successful home-selling experience.
