Should You Try to Sell Your Central New Jersey Home on Your Own?

Many central New Jersey homeowners believe that it is much more cost-effective to sell their homes themselves. They think that selling a home is a simple process, and paying a broker fee is unnecessary. The truth is that almost half of homeowners who sold their homes themselves would hire a professional to help them, if they were to do it all over again.

Of the home owners who sold their homes themselves, many said that the time, paperwork, and other responsibilities involved were not worth the money they saved by selling their homes themselves. One of the costliest mistakes home sellers make involves the fees associated with selling a home. After the sellers pay for professional services from people like consultants, inspectors, appraisers, and lawyers, they realize that they would have been better off paying for a broker, because some of these professional fees would have been included in the broker's fee.

Selling your home on your own requires careful consideration. You should ask yourself the following questions when deciding whether to sell your central New Jersey home on your own:

• Do you have the time, expertise, and ability to sell your home? You will need to be available to show your home, devote time to marketing, and complete paperwork, all under time constraints.

• Are you prepared to deal with people who will try to low-ball you because you are selling your home on your own? You will need to pre-qualify buyers to determine who is serious and who is not.

• Do you know enough about financing to answer potential buyers' questions?

• Do you fully understand all of the legal aspects of selling a home?

• Do you know who to contact to do the necessary inspection, appraisal, and title search? You won't be able to close until these items have been completed.
