For Sale By Owner is just as it sounds, a homeowner trying to sell their home without the assistance of a REALTOR. Can you do this, sure! Do they actually get their house sold, sure! Is it typical? No. About 80% of FSBO's end up listing their homes with a Professional REALTOR anyway. And here's why.
These are just some of the many questions that home owners need to ask themselves before they even begin to embarking on the task of selling their own home without a professional. What some home owners don't realize is that most REALTORS do care about selling their homes. After all, this is our livelihood. We want to sell your home for the highest possible price; our business depends on it and our business revenue (the commission) is based on sales price. So when we say the house is overpriced, it is; we know what we speak of. Our goal is to sell your home, not just to list it, and to have a smooth, stress-free transaction. And we want you to be happy with the outcome so the next time to have to buy or sell, or anyone asks you to recommend a REALTOR, you think of us.
But anyone can put a for sale sign in their yard and try to sell their own home, and some may actually get it sold in a reasonable amount of time without any major problems or legal issues. But as with any profession, if you decide to take on the role yourself, you are opening yourself up to potential risks.
Licensed REALTORS are just that, a licensed professional who is capable of guiding you thru the process and assessing the transaction with the least amount of risk possible. We may not be attorneys but we are required to be aware of the key regulations and leagal issues. And we will inform you when you will need to retain an attorney. We help get your home sold in the least amount of time, for the highest possible price. We also ensure that the buyers are actually qualified to purchase your home. We will walk you through the closing process step by step.
Some FSBO's think that since they have sold houses before in other states or have been led to believe that selling their own home will be a cakewalk by certain businesses catering to the For Sale By Owner market. Not so. Remember, those companies get paid up-front and they are apid regardless if your home sells or not. REALTORS only get paid when your home sells. If we can't sell it, we don't get paid. We as agents are required by law to have all of our ducks in a row before even placing the house on the market.
Here's a few things we're required to do -
In closing, you need to know that there are solutions for each situation. We are licensed to assist with all your real estate needs.

I just received a reminder from one of the many mortgage reps that I get updates from. The reminder was about a loan program that is often forgotten. I'm even guilty of forgetting about it even though I had written an article about it previously. This forgotten loan program is the USDA Rural Home Loan. The best part of this loan program is that the buyer does not need a downpayment. That's right, $0 downpayment. However, the home that you are planning to buy must be located in one of the eligible areas of New Jersey. The loan limits that USDA operates under are the same ones that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other have established.
So, if you're ready to purchase your new home, give me a call to discuss your real estate needs in greater detail and that way I can help you determine if a USDA Rural Home Loan is for you. You do not have to be employed or affiliated with the USDA or even a governement employee. This is a great way for first time home buyers, that may not have enough funds to put as a downpayment, or even the non-first time home buyer who needs to move into a bigger home but lacks sufficient funds for the 3.5% downpayment needed for an FHA loan. First time home buyers, this is great opprotunity to get into your own home AND qualify to receive your $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
