FOR SALE BY OWNER - INFO FOR THE DIY'er!

TIPS FOR THE DIY REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION

In some cases people believe that selling their own home will bring them more money by saving a commission.  Statistically this isn't true and often it wasn't the best option when those that have done it look back. For sale by owner (FSBO) sales usually take longer and bring in less money than agent-involved sales.   
 
If you are going to sell your property on your own, here is a list of just some of the basics that you need to consider and which are otherwise part of our included professional services, as follows:
 
  • You will need a comprehensive market analysis.
  • You will need an expert price valuation to sell your property quickly without under-pricing.
  • You will need a comprehensive marketing campaign in order to receive the highest possible price for your property.
  • You will need to network with other Realtors who have buyers who may be interested in purchasing your home.
  • You will need to pay a buyers Realtor Agent a commission which is typically 3%.
  • You will need a local advertising campaign including the creation of print and Internet advertising.
  • You will need proper AND legal signage to promote your home.
  • You will need the proper legal representation to assure the transaction takes place smoothly.
  • You will need someone to coordinate showings and other appointments.
  • You will need someone to conduct, and drive traffic to your open house.
  • You will need an experienced negotiator who knows what is reasonable and what is not.
  • You will need an expert who understands contingencies, cash offers, and so much more.
These are just a few items to consider when thinking about selling your property yourself. At the end of the day, it just might not be worth it.
