Thinking About Selling Your Property Yourself?

There's More to Selling Your Property Than a "For Sale" Sign on your property: Beware. 

Even if a simple sign on your property did produce a buyer contacting you, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your property compare to others like it in the area?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your property is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your property is nothing like selling a car. Every property is different, and every buyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all properties are sold using a real estate agent. As real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your property for sale, marketing it locally and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex feasibility studies, perk tests, wetland studies, paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your property. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one."
