<\/div>\n

How does selling by owner (FSBO) work in Nebraska?<\/h2>\n

FSBO is a method of selling your home without the involvement of a listing agent. In a FSBO scenario, the seller assumes the responsibilities that would normally fall to their agent, such as <\/span>pricing the home<\/span><\/a>, marketing it to potential buyers, arranging <\/span>showings<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>negotiating<\/a> the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an agent-assisted sale, the seller typically pays a commission amounting to <\/span>3%-5.8% of the sale price<\/span><\/a>, depending on <\/span>who pays for the buyer\u2019s agent commission<\/span><\/a>. That amount is deducted from the seller\u2019s proceeds at closing. By selling FSBO, a seller can eliminate the cost of the listing agent commission (around 3%), though they may still need to offer a <\/span>buyer\u2019s agent commission.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/a>Even with <\/span>new commission rules in place<\/span><\/a>, buyers\u2019 agents will expect compensation for the work they do to bring a buyer to the negotiating table, such as arranging showings and helping to place qualified buyers on deck. In addition, when a seller isn\u2019t partnering with an agent, the buyer\u2019s agent may end up lifting more of the weight to get the sale to the finish line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, a FSBO sale does not mean that a seller won\u2019t need any professional assistance. In Nebraska, sellers are not required to hire a <\/span>real estate attorney<\/span><\/a>, but FSBO sales typically warrant legal and professional oversight of some kind to avoid an abundance of legal risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people who sell by owner will need to <\/span>hire an attorney<\/span><\/a> to review and prepare <\/span>key documents<\/span><\/a> and make sure paperwork is filled out properly, such as the <\/span>seller\u2019s disclosures<\/span><\/a>. We\u2019ll address what disclosures are required when selling a house in Nebraska later in this post.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
