For Sale By Owner Without Using An Agent
By James R Blunt
To a busy homeowner, For Sale By Owner can seem intimidating.
How do you determine how much your house is worth? Where do you
advertise? How do you negotiate the closing details. Yes - there’s
a lot to consider but you can do it yourself and save a fortune
in real estate fees.
The first two weeks on the market is critical because that’s
when buyers’ interest is at its highest. You do not want to fall
victim to a seller’s biggest mistake and not price your home correctly.
To determine your asking price, evaluate the home values of similar
houses in your neighborhood.
Preparing To Sell Your Home
If you find that the home values are less than you’d hoped, then
you may have to renovate. To get the maximum price for your home,
it must have great curb appeal and be immaculate inside. Give
attention to the entry way and the front door.
Clutter makes a home seem smaller and it is harder for a buyer
to see your house as their home. It’s smart to have your home
inspected prior to putting it on the market. A home inspection
will turn up things that may need immediate repair.
Advertising Your Home Online
The web is the best tool to review your options and get the word
out to potential buyers. Some For Sale By Owner home listings
are free, so research what’s available in your region. In
your ad, include clear photographs and a written description that
focuses on the best selling features.
Invest in an attractive lawn sign and put a holder on it filled
with handouts containing information about the property and financing
possibilities. Compose flyers and recruit your family and friends
to help distribute them to neighboring communities and post them
on public notice boards. Be sure to include the date and times
you plan to hold an open house.
Buyers May Seek A Lower Price
If you decide to offer a commission to selling agents, then you
will want to put a lockbox on your premises for easy access by
agents when you are not home. Since you have chosen to sell your
home yourself, many buyers are going to think that you are saving
a lot of money on commissions and will most likely offer you less
than they would for similar houses for sale.
Be aware of what the average commission structure is in your
area. Technically, you can sell your home without a lawyer but
getting one is recommended. However, he should give you a discounted
rate if you prepare your own documents.
Selling Your Home Without An Agent
If you don’t want to pay to sell your home, by having to pay
for costly realtor fees, then For Sale By Owner is definitely
the way to go. Imagine having people buying your house without
having to pay some real estate agent a whole pile of your hard
earned money to do it for you!
With some research and networking, you can sell your home yourself
and still get a great price. Why share the profits when you can
take it home yourself?
