For Sale By Owner
So you are considering selling your home on your own without a real estate agent. Nothing wrong with that if it goes your way. Of course that means selling your property as quickly as possible and getting maximum dollar for your real estate investment and getting it to the closing table in a timely manner.
Many people have a misconception that real estate agents are overpaid or judge all real estate agents in a negative light because of a bad experience. As a trainer I can tell you all real estate agents work different some offering more than another. Just like any other profession, it’s best to interview agents. Don’t assume we just slap a for sale sign up in their yard. As a professional real estate agent we must master skills such as:
Marketing | Computer Skills | Photography| Web | Print | Networking | Prospecting for buyers | Accounting | Writing Contracts| Understanding Contract Law| Strong Communication Skills | Negotiations | Customer Service
And a For Sale by Owner is no different. You too will have to understand these tasks or hire someone to assist you. Face it most of these tasks will have to be done to complete a successful real estate transaction.
Think About This….
According to Yahoo White Pages
“83% of Real Estate Consumers used an agent in their recent past purchase or sale!”
You could be that 17% that is successful on your own or that 83% that uses an agent. Either way before you assume you can and will save thousands in commissions and that you can sell your property on your own. Think this through before placing your property on the market as a for sale by owner. Remember more than likely your home is your largest asset. You wouldn’t perform surgery on yourself would you?
