For Sale By Owner
There's More To Selling Your Home Than a "For Sale" Sign in Your Front Yard!
 
Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions?
  • "How does your home compare to others like it on the market?"
  • "Can I see your house on a week day?  I work nights."
  • "How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 
  • "What about financing? Can you help?" 
  • "If I make 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?"
 

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!"
 
Important facts you need to know
Many homeowners believe that to maximize their home sale they should sell it themselves. Initially, it seems selling a home is simple and why should they pay broker fees for something they could do themselves?
 
Although this sounds right, a study by The National Association of Realtors has shown that homeowners gross approximately 15.3 % MORE when selling through professional Realtors, than when selling privately.

When you decide to buy or sell a home, the services of a qualified real estate professional are of utmost importance. A good Realtor will save you time and money.
