Sell Your Own Home?

Why not? There are many reasons why you might want to sell your own home. Homes for sale by owner is booming in Canada. Approximately 25% of residential real estate sales are now conducted on a private sale basis. It is estimated that this number will grow to 50% within the next 3-5 years.

• The number one reason the real estate owner decides to sell privately is there are no real estate fees. If the home sells for $300,000 and the commission rate is 6%, the total amount you would pay a real estate agent is over $19,000. This includes $1,080 GST.
• Who knows your house and area the best? There is no real estate agent that can sell your home like you can. You know the neighbourhood and where schools, public transit, restaurants, shopping, etc. are located.
• Many selling privately have commented on the convenience of working one-on-one with the buyer. Buyers are also discovering the FSBO opportunity. Information and answers to questions are not filtered through a couple of real estate agents. Buyers and sellers find they enjoy the 'For Sale By Owner' process as they don't have the pressure of commissioned sales people involved.
• A private seller has complete control over all aspects of their FSBO sale. They know when and where their property is being advertised. They are also aware when someone is coming to view their home. All of the mystery is removed when an owner decides to sell privately.
• Homes for sale private can sell faster. The real estate owner might share some of the fees they would have paid, therefore creating an incentitive for a buyer who gets a better deal.

HomesByOwner of Durham Region provides as part of its service a 'Peace of Mind' Private Sale Guide. It contains tips and instructions to sell your own home.

Testimonials

It is unbelieveable how effective your private list real estate company is. I listed my house on your website and paid $129 for one of your packages. IT SOLD IN 9 DAYS!! I SAVED $12,000 IN REAL ESTATE FEES!! I still cannot believe it. The buyer told me they found the house by one of the directional arrows you installed down the street. They took my web address off the sign and viewed my listing on their computer. That sold them. Thanks again for all your hard work. I can honestly say you worked harder for me than real estate agents I have had sell my homes in the past. I told some guys at work about my experience. You will be hearing from them in the future. Thanks again for everything. I will certainly recommend your homes for sale private service. Bruce R.

The same day I ordered your advertising package, you delivered the signs. We thought we would have to wait longer. We enjoyed selling our home ourselves. This was our first time, and although we were a little apprehensive, everything worked out fine. There was no tention meeting and showing the home to buyers. We will always sell our home ourselves from now on. We saved enough commission to pay cash for a new car. WOW!! Thanks for the excellent service, HomesByOwner. Brian T.

A friend at work sold her home privately last year. So, after hearing her success story, I decided to try as well. Being on my own, I wondered if I was making the right decision. It was a piece of cake. I met some of the nicest people and everything went smooth. I sold through a real estate agent 10 years ago, and I was always on edge wondering what was going on with my sale. You guys gave me the tools to do it myself, and I don't have any regrets. My lawyer helped with the offer. Thanks for the excellent marketing system. I will recommend you to everyone I know. Linda G.

My husband wanted to try the For Sale By Owner route to sell our home of 28 years. Boy, was I scared! After 6 weeks, we had an offer for exactly what we were asking. I can see I was making a mountain out of a mole hill. The only time I heard my husband complain was when he had to cut the grass and manouver around the for sale sign. We are using some of the commission we saved to go on a cruise this winter. Bob and I cannot thank you guys enough for the uncomplicatd system for us to market our home. Bob and Judy L.

--------------------

When my husband and I decided to sell our home, we talked to a few real estate agents. We could not get the answers to our questions we wanted to hear. So we decided to try selling on our own. Our neighbour tried last year, and sold privately in 8 days. From the time we put up the sign with our web address on it, we had a buyer in 6 days. And we thought we would be in for the long haul. And know what we did regarding the offer? We got out the one from when we bought the house. We found the paperwork to be very simple to work with. We saved over $18,000 in commissions. What is so difficult about selling a home? Thanks for all your help, HomesByOwner of Durham Region! Janet B.

--------------------

HomesByOwner of Durham Region had what we were looking for. The package we selected marketed our property beyond our expectations, and at a cost less than what we expected to pay. We saved $12,031 including GST. Thanks HomesByOwner. You guys are great! Jennifer G.

Your service was great to rent our property. We had fun building our listing on the website. Within 24 hours we had 3 calls. They all mentioned what a professional job we did of presenting the home. Also having our web address on the lawn sign helped in supplying information. Anyway, we had an excellent tenant signed up in 4 days. We will not hesitate to use your service again when we are looking for another tenant. Thank you. Joan and Bob L.

I decided to take a minute to thank you again for your excellent service. I also want to tell everyone that reads your blog about my experience selling privately. As you recall you came to our home, gathered all the details of our home and took pictures. The following weekend we had an open house each day. On the Monday, 8 days after being listed on HomesByOwner.com, we had 2 offers presented to us. We ended up getting 99% of our asking price. Some may ask, '99% of what"? We had some real estate agents give us a market evaluation of the property. So our asking price is what a realtor would have listed it at. We saved $15,000 in real estate commissions. Thank you for your professional service. Your system for private real estate sales works great. Joanne K.

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for everything you have done for me so far. Although I just posted my home on your for sale by owner website, I am very impressed with your professionalism. I also want you to know that the amount of work you have contributed has not gone unnoticed. Within 24 hours of my home being posted on HomesByOwner.com, I received 2 phone calls. Wish me a quick sale! Richard W.

I listed my private sale home on your For Sale By Owner website last week. Although it has not sold yet, I am getting some calls. I also notice that I am averaging around 40 hits a day on my ad. The real reason I am writing this testimonial is that I want to thank you for the professional approach you have taken to help me sell my home privately. I was a little apprehensive to shell out money for this service. I did some research and found there are other FSBO companies out there, but none had the real estate background that you have. I notice that when I ask a question, there is no hesitation in providing an answer. Knowledge of marketing is one thing, but to deal with someone that has years of experience selling real estate is icing on the cake. Thanks again and I am sure I will get a quick sale with the help of HomesByOwner.com. John R.

I wonder why real estate agents charge so much for something you can do yourself. I saved $27,000 in real estate fees. The last time I used an agent, I paid them $18,000 just to list my home on MLS. They never advertised it or have any open houses. I spent $400 in ads and had 2 open houses. I got a buyer in 5 weeks. Does it not make sense to make an effort to sell private? You will never convince me otherwise. By the way, thank you for all your help. I learned a lot about the real estate business from you. You will have some referrals coming your way. Jackie A.

We listed our home on your for sale by owner website. We anticipated that it would sell in 2-3 months. We got an offer in 6 weeks that we accepted. Thank you for all your help. We will certainly use your service next time we sell. Brian and Amanda L.

Selling my home privately scared me at first. After we talked, I was relieved that it was something I could do without any complications. Your 'Peace of Mind' Private Sale Guide provided all the information I needed. What really surprised me was that you answered the phone everytime I called. I sold my home in 9 weeks, but it was worth it. I would have paid $16,419 in realtors fees. It was certainly worth the effort I put in. I will do it again when I sell my next home. Thank you for your assistance. Sherry B.

We had heard so much about the for sale by owner method to sell a home, we decided to explore it further. After talking to you, we decided to use your HomesByOwner.com company to sell privately. Within days of the sign being installed on our lawn, we had a few calls. We were very surprised when an offer came in after being on the market for only 11 days. This was so simple, we will never use a real estate agent again. The savings of $14,790 was well worth our time spent. You will be hearing from us again in the future. Thank you for your help. Brad and Jackie A.
