Sell traditionally with an agent
Not in a market with Zillow’s new selling experience? Work with a real estate agent for selling support at every step, including prepping, listing and marketing your home.
Why sell traditionally
- Potential for bidding wars
- Access to local market expertise
- Get help negotiating and reviewing offers
- Navigate a stressful process with a dedicated guide
How to sell traditionally
Learn more about the process of selling your house with a listing agent. If this is the best route for you, interview agents and select a professional who will meet your expectations. Your agent will then guide you through the steps of selling your home.
Agents listed in the directory under ‘Find an agent’ are not licensed with Zillow, Inc. or any of our affiliated entities.
Sell your home yourself
Deciding to sell your home yourself is referred to as for-sale-by-owner (FSBO). The FSBO process is similar to traditional selling, but without the help of a real estate agent. In this case, you’re responsible for the home prep, marketing, showings, and negotiations.
Why sell FSBO
- Avoid paying a listing agent commission
- Advertise your listing for free on Zillow
- Flexibility and control from start to finish
How to sell FSBO
When selling yourself, start with home prep, staging, and hiring a professional photographer. Once your marketing materials are ready, research comparable homes to help price your home. Then, list on Zillow. You’ll likely host home showings or open houses. Then select an offer, negotiate, accept and close.
