FSBO vs 1% – 1% Lists Indiana Real Estate, Columbus, IN.

FSBO vs 1%: Which Makes More Sense in Columbus, IN?

Many Columbus homeowners consider selling “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) to save on commission. But what if you could keep most of your equity and still get full professional support? That’s the 1% Lists Indiana model — real agents, real marketing, and a 1% listing fee that often outperforms DIY efforts.

Quick Self-Check: Are You Leaning FSBO?

  • You want to avoid paying 6% commission.
  • You’re confident in showing and negotiating your home yourself.
  • You’re open to handling all the legal and marketing details.

If that sounds like more work than you’d like, there’s a smarter route: list at 1% instead of going solo.

FSBO: What You’re Really Taking On

FSBO sellers often start strong but face challenges when it’s time for photography, pricing strategy, buyer screening, or contract paperwork. According to national data, most FSBO homes sell for 5–10% less than comparable agent-assisted sales — and usually take longer to close.

The 1% Lists Indiana Difference

Our approach keeps you in control while removing the stress. You pay just 1% on the listing side and get a licensed, full-service agent who handles:

  • Professional photography and MLS syndication
  • Targeted digital and social media marketing
  • Buyer inquiries and showing coordination
  • Contract negotiation and closing support

The result: you stay protected, marketed, and profitable — without paying the 6% or losing momentum like many FSBOs do.
