Unrepresented Sellers(FSBO's): Advice For Selling Your Home

Selling Your Home On Your Own?

Many homeowners decide to try selling their home on their own. You may be one of them. Below are some tips to keep in mind when selling your own home. However, if the time ever comes when you think you may need assistance, a full-time real estate professional can actually save you time and money in the following ways:

• A real estate professional can hold your home open at any time in order to get as many buyers through your home as possible.
• A real estate professional can screen all inquiries and only show your home to QUALIFIED BUYERS.
• A real estate professional will take on all responsibilities of advertising and marketing, from placing ads and creating/distributing flyers to direct mailings/e-mailings and direct promotion to hundreds, if not thousands of other area agents via e-mail bulletins, brokers opens, etc.
• A real estate professional can do research to determine the correct market value of your home, and sell it within your time frame.
• A real estate professional knows the buying/selling process from beginning to end, can anticipate potential issues, and can head them off before they become real problems.
• A real estate professional can rely on extensive experience and knowledge of the market to negotiate effectively on your behalf.

If you wish to have a Free Market Evaluation of your home at no cost to you, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. Remember, real estate professionals provide this as a service to you. Don't choose a real estate professional based on the highest price suggested for your home; as the seller, it is you who ultimately decides at what price you wish to sell your home. Instead, choose someone whom you feel has an effective marketing plan, and someone with whom you feel you can work closely together as a team for the next couple of months.
