Lawrence, KS

In talking with dozens of Lawrence, Kansas, Homes for Sale, For Sale By Owner, FSBO owners I have learned some things from them. Many have decided to sell a home themselves to:

1) Save the commission.

2) Need the highest amount of money possible when selling a home to be their down payment for the next home they want to buy.

3) Got poor treatment or service from a Realtor at some point in the past so decided they would be a For Sale By Owner FSBO owner rather than get bad service from another Realtor.

Getting poor service from a Realtor does not mean that all Realtors give bad service. Interview Realtors and ask them to tell you about their marketing plan and ask them to do a listing presentation. Ask specific questions as to how they are going to get the highest number of buyers to see your home so it will sell fast. Ask how many MLS's they will list your home on. Ask how many websites they will put your home on. Ask them for a free CMA that tells you your home's value. Select a Realtor who will do more than just put your home on the MLS and put a sign in the yard. Select a Realtor who will tell you what you "NEED" to hear not what you "WANT" to hear.

Need the highest amount of money possible when selling a home to be your down payment for the next home you want to buy simply does not make sense. If you were getting transferred to Tokyo, the home that would cost $200,000 here in Lawrence Kansas real estate would cost $1,000,000 or more over there. There is NO correlation between the fair market value of the homes for sale and the homes you look at when you want to buy a home. However, many Lawrence, Kansas, Homes for Sale, For Sale By Owner, FSBO owners will price their home high enough so they will be able to get the down payment they need in order to buy their new home. All this produces is a lot of overpriced homes for sale on the FSBO market. They will never sell when overpriced and then they call on a Realtor to help them get their home SOLD when they have run out of time. When that occurs, the home is branded as a former FSBO that didn't sell in the buyers' minds and they don't want to see the home.

Saving the commission is by far the #1 reason Lawrence, Kansas, Homes for Sale, For Sale By Owner, FSBO owners give when they tell me why they are trying to sell a home FSBO. But what happens is the home buyer comes and says how much is your house and the FSBO says $200,000. The home buyer then subtracts $25,000 off the price in their mind and that is the highest they want to offer because they "inflate" the 6% or commission to a much higher amount in their mind. Then the buyer thinks about offering the $175,000 only doesn't want to offend the FSBO so nothing is ever offered which helps to tell why over 95% of all FSBO's evidentially list their home with a Realtor.

A good Realtor will actually be able to explain and show to you how he can "save" the FSBO their commission by getting the FSBO home SOLD at a higher price than what the FSBO could get it SOLD for themselves.

Being a Lawrence, Kansas, Homes for Sale, For Sale By Owner, FSBO owner is a lot of work. A Realtor removes that work load so the FSBO can have time to do the things they consider important. Sure, you can change the oil on your car yourself, but do you really want to. I know I don't. Sure you can run a package over to a town an hour away but more than likely it makes more sense to just mail it overnight. There are just some things best left to the professionals and marketing and getting a home sold for the highest possible price is the job of a professional Realtor who has graduate level real estate course work and designations like myself to get the job done. It is a full time job!

Lawrence, Kansas, Homes for Sale, sometimes turn into Expired Listings. The reason for this is usually due to one of the following reasons:

1) Poor Location

2) Poor Condition

3) Poor Pricing

A poor location has few solutions available to homes for sale owners but the poor condition and poor pricing can be corrected.

Poor condition involves amking sure the property is cleand in ready to move in condition. Having great curb appeal and inside appeal lends to a quick sale. Buyers for the most part do not want a fixer upper. They want to buy a home where they can just move their things in. They don't want to have to install new carpet or paint walls or clean the place.

I have found that the word "clean" has several meanings depending on who you ask. It could mean "broom clean" which is just sweeping out the bulk on down to "you could eat off the floor" it is so clean. For the most part, home buyers want the "you could eat off the floor" clean and will move on to the next house if it isn't clean enough for them.

Fixing things is not high on their list either. They don't like to see holes in screens, holes in walls, broken/cracked windows, etc. You don't have to remodel the place but just make it to where the buyer won't pass on your house for the next house due to an easy fix.

Poor pricing is by far the reason why homes for sale do not get SOLD. You need to get a Realtor who will tell you what you "NEED" to hear and not what you "WANT" to hear about the proper pricing of your home. I am known for having homes for sale marked "SOLD" and not forever "Homes For Sale". There are all kinds of tricks to proper pricing where the buyer gets the price they want and yet the home owner gets their home SOLD for the highest price possible.

Visit www.MLSPlease.com to see some of the best ways to market and sell a home. Everything I do is designed to add more buyers to those who see your homes for sale. My secret pricing methods double, triple, and quaddruple the number of buyers who see your home over Realtors who do not use my pricing strategies.

If you don't want to keep having Expired Listings, turn it over to the marketing of Rob Lang. After all, there is a whole lot more to just sticking a sign in the yard and the home in the MLS.
