It’s far easier to sell an apartment in NYC without a broker than most real estate agents will care to admit.

With that said, before listing your home FSBO on the internet it’s important to understand why brokers are relevant even for sellers who want to avoid paying a 6% broker commission.

New York City has an entrenched two-agent real estate broker model, which means that most deals have two agents involved: a listing agent representing the seller and a buyer’s agent representing the buyer. Over 75% of buyers in NYC work with a buyer’s agent as a result.

If you do not offer commission to a buyer’s agent as a seller, you will effectively reduce the size of your potential pool of buyers to just 25% of the total buyer base. This has ramifications for the amount of demand you receive, the number of potential offers you receive, your sale price, how quickly you sell and whether you sell at all.
How Can I Sell My Apartment Without a Broker in NYC?

The first step in selling an apartment without a broker in NYC is to educate yourself on the sale process. You can learn about each step in the sale process by visiting Hauseit’s Agent Assisted FSBO Seller Training Portal at www.hauseit.com.

Once you’re familiar with the process, the next step is to choose your level of marketing exposure. If you’re comfortable missing out on the 75% of buyers who are represented, you can simply list your home FSBO online.

If you’d like full-exposure to direct buyers as well as buyers who are represented, you can list in RLS and everywhere online with an Agent Assisted FSBO, also known as a Flat Fee MLS Listing. This approach allows you to save up to 6% in commission if your buyer is unrepresented while also giving you full exposure to buyers with brokers.

What Is the Typical Buyer Agent Commission Percentage in NYC?

The most common range for buyer agent commission fees in NYC is between 2% to 3%. How much commission you should offer ultimate depends on the amount of competition you anticipate from fellow sellers.
