For Sale By Owner - Must Read
Many homeowners believe that to maximize their profit on a home sale they should sell it themselves. They feel selling a home is simple and why should they pay for something they could do themselves?

Selling a home requires an intimate understanding of the real estate market. If the property is priced too high, it will sit and develop a reputation for being a problem property. If the property is priced too low, you will cost yourself serious money. Some FSBO’s discovered that the lost money as a result of poor decisions outweighed the commission.

Selling a home is a very time consuming, stressful event. A Realtor doesn’t merely show a house, showing the home is the easy part. There are numerous components to selling a home and a good Realtor knows all of them from the most effective advertising to the proper elements of closing the deal, allow us to be that Realtor for you. When you decide to list the home with a Realtor, please give us a call. We'd love to earn your business and your trust. Most importantly a Realtor doesn’t get paid until the home closes.  So, what do you have to lose?

For Sale By Owner



  I have heard that technology will, one day, take over the world. Employees will no longer be needed, computers will run everything.  Personally, I do not see this happening. Yet I urge you to take a minute to think of all the information technology holds.  For example, the internet provides an overwhelming amount of information. The how to guides are unlimited, there is an actual site that brags “Clear instructions on how to do (just about) everything”.  So why is it that the majority of us do not take advantage of these guides, cut out the middle man and sell our homes without a Realtor?  I believe it is the same reasons they don’t own a farm instead of shopping at Kroger - Convenience, knowledge, expertise.

I urge you to view “ehow’s: how to guide on selling a home”. There are over 30 articles on what to do to sell your home. While all of these articles are very helpful and resourceful for showing a house, none show you how to write an offer on the home or detail the legal trouble you could create for not properly filling out the needed documents and most of the articles suggest you use a Realtor. Selling a home is a very time consuming, stressful event. Why are Realtors better at what they do then the actual owners of the home. A Realtor doesn’t merely show a house, showing the home is the easy part. There are numerous components to selling a home and a good Realtor knows all of them from the most effective advertising to the proper elements of closing the deal. Most importantly a Realtor doesn’t get paid until the home closes.  So, what do you have to lose? Call me today at 235-5164.


         FSBO Trend

As I drive down the street I see numerous homeowners attempting to sell their homes by owner. Several companies are now offering flat fee listings and marketing packages to assist "for sale by owners". Sellers are attracted to the low fees and compare them to the fees of a Realtor. There are advantages to the "for sale by owner" companies but only if you have the expertise and time to perform literally hundreds of tasks to complete the real estate process. I believe the benefits of listing with a Realtor far outweigh the benefits of using a "for sale by owner" company.

Let us compare the upfront cost associated with both options. To sign a listing contract with a Realtor it will cost you nothing. The only way a Realtor earns a commission is if and when the home sells. When signing a contract with a "for sale by owner" company the seller must pay the company a predetermined fee which is not refunded regardless of whether your home is sold. Remember that this predetermined fee typically doesn't last until the home is sold so you may need to pay fees several times depending on how long it takes your home to sell.

Now keep in mind that once you have negotiated and settled on a commission with a Realtor that price is set and there aren't any extra features that you need to purchase. "For sale by owner" companies typically require you pay extra for features including signs, photos, ads in magazines, internet advertising, and more. In addition, a Realtor's commission includes payment to a buyers agent with no extra cost to you. Most "For sale by owner" companies require you pay buyers agents commission on top of their fees.

While at first glance a "For sale by owner" may seem like the answer, this simply isn't true. If you are selling your home, I say give a Realtor a chance. Let them do the work so you can sit back and relax. The choice is now up to you: Hire a "For sale by owner" company, pay upfront, and take the risk of losing the upfront money or hire a Realtor with no upfront cost, pay Realtor commission once you have sold your home and lose nothing!
