by Kim Donahue

As part of the Kim and Dave Luxury Team, we've seen firsthand how crucial the right guidance can be when selling a home. A recent survey by Clever Real Estate, involving 1,000 Americans who have sold a home since 2022, revealed some eye-opening statistics:

  • Home sellers who used a listing agent made an average of $34,000 more on their home sale compared to those who didn't.
  • A staggering 89% of homeowners have regrets about their home sale.
  • The most common regrets cited were:
    • 30% felt they sold too quickly.
    • 29% missed their old home.
    • 28% regretted not selling for enough money.
  • Among sellers who didn’t use a listing agent:
    • 54% regretted not using an agent.
    • 46% made legal mistakes during their sale.
    • 43% felt buyers didn’t trust them.

Our Perspective

The findings of this report underscore the importance of having professional support when selling your home. The standout statistic here is that home sellers who opted out of using a listing agent ended up costing themselves an average of $34,000. This isn't just a number; it's a significant amount of money that could have a substantial impact on your financial future.
