Trying to Sell Your Home by Yourself
Sounds like a great idea but it can be disastrous.
Here is my personal testimonial. I have also provided a number of helpful articles on buying and selling real estate, one of them specifically on problems with FSBO
A True For Sale by Owner Story
We thought we were very savvy after buying, selling and building homes for
ourselves for many years. We decided to try and sell our home ourselves. We
even procured and paid for an appraisal for our home to help price it properly.
Unfortunately, an unscrupulous buyer got involved with our property and we
ended up having to hire a real estate attorney to help resolve the issue and
wasted many months in the process.
We then hired a Realtor and had her give an opinion of the proper price point to
sell our home at. The price she gave was about $150,000.00 over what we had
tried to sell our home for originally! We listed our home with her and it sold in 12
hours, for more than we had thought possible.
We realized then and now the value and skills a Realtor provides during the real
estate process.
One of the reasons I became a Realtor is that I knew I would bring an unusual
understanding and experience to help my clients. The most rewarding and
gratifying experience of being a Realtor is helping my clients achieve their dreams
of home ownership.
To help get you started be sure to read some of my articles on effective ways to stage your home to sell, preparing for the home inspector to come, and some of the differences of selling in a luxury market. I have also written about the importance of curb appeal for making a good first impression with a buyer, including: the many options of designer concrete, re-roofing to sell, and installing a fountain or waterfall in the yard.
