There has NEVER been a better time to Sell your Home Yourself. I am a Real Estate Broker owner, and I can honestly tell you that you DO NOT need a Realtor to Sell your home on your Home. With the Power of the Internet you can make a website, put up your own photos and go for it. There is no real way for me to know your home better than you. You Really are the Best Candidate to Sell Your Home.
The US seems to be heading toward a real estate recession, to make your Real Estate stand out you need to learn how to market your real estate on the internet.
I want you to Sell your Home yourself and to Never Give up. A large percentage of FSBO's give up mid-way and list their home with a local real estate agent or discount broker before they reap the rewards of their hard work. There are powerful marketing tools now available to you as a "for sale by owner" that you may not know about. Embrace Internet Marketing, get started marketing your Real Estate for Sale by Owner today.
The Cost of Selling your Home yourself may be greater than you think if you do not have the right information. I am a real estate Broker Owner who has picked up quite a few of those FSBO Listings because they gave up. I have seen those same For Sale by Owners trying on and off for years and making the same mistakes over and over.
Imagine selling your own home and doing it better than local agents in your area. The Internet has changed the way we market real estate, buyers know that ~ however, most Realtors and For Sale by Owners do not.
Some of those Tips on Selling your Own home, that are out there on the internet can get you into more trouble than its worth. Some real estate writers have no industry experience and have other motives for getting you to buy their books. I read a website the other day where the author was offering the For Sale by Owner a Referral fee for sending their buyer to this particular mortgage company.
I believe things like this are a conflict of interest. I have seen people hurt by real estate and I don't want you to be one of them. I will offer NO referrals. I don't want to know who your buyer uses for their loan and neither should you. You can give them a list of local options but really anything else is not ethical and can lead to possible fraud issues. This also goes for recommend a particular home inspector or appraiser.
You must find a balance between selling your home your self and distancing yourself from the buyers side of the transaction, especially if they need financing that you are not providing.
You don't need to pay a FSBO company
to market your real estate for you.
They brag about how many hits their website gets. Who Cares.
If those hits are in a global market and on a website that lists for sale by owners around the world, than how does that REALLY benefit You ?
They will give you a cheesy brochure, a flimsy yard sign marketing their website, build you a slide show, give you access to a toll free phone consultation. You may think it can't hurt to try with them but it can make your listing look like old news and it can hurt the way buyers look at your real estate for sale. Learn all you can folks and Sell your Home Yourself for FREE.
