The Real Difference Isn’t Price. It’s Market Access.
Private selling platforms offer control and upfront savings, but they also limit distribution. Listings are primarily seen by buyers who already know where to look.
MLS exposure works differently. It places your property in front of active buyers and the licensed brokers representing them—broadening reach beyond a single platform.
If you’re already focused on saving commission, the real question isn’t whether FSBO is cheaper. It’s whether limiting visibility could affect demand, negotiation leverage, or final outcomes.
