Even if a simple sign in your yard, an ad or an open house does produce a potential buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions?
"How does your home compare to others like it on the market?"
"How did you determine the value of your home?"
"What about financing? Can you personally carry all of or a portion of the home loan if I buy your home?"
"If I get an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a Realtor?"
"Is there something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a Realtor, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the biggest and most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car or any other pieces of property. A real estate transaction is different. All the "i's" must be dotted and "t's" crossed.
The great majority of all homes are sold using a Realtor. As professionals, it's mine and Lucy's job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want to offer you as little as possible for your home--not to mention preparing your home for sale and marketing it locally and nationally in all the media, including the web. We want to help you through the complex paperwork and legal pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that, before pounding that sign into your front yard!
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one!" and other unforeseen problems we deal with every day.
If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. We'll also explain how we arrived at the value and describe how we would market your property. We will not tell what you want to hear just to get your listing! This is a free offer, with no strings attached.
If you still have your mind set on selling your home yourself, all our knowledge and experience is still available for you and we want to share it with you. Our motive? To handle it all for you later if you change your mind.
Tell us a bit about your home, and we will do a quick Comparative Market Analysis, CMA, and let you know what we feel it is worth. Just fill out the form below.
