I have preached in the past about how rewarding it can be to sell a home without a realtor due to the money you can save. One thing I seemed to have never focused on is how buying a home for sale by owner can become rewarding. This is where you deal directly with the owner, evaluate all of the features of the home, determine the updates that you would like to make, and then negotiate a mutually agreeable price. You can get the house you want for the price you’re willing to pay just by following a couple steps.

The first thing to consider is obviously what you can afford. I wouldn’t advise anyone to walk in a home that is being sold by its owner and expect them to come down 100k from what they have it listed for. Know what you can afford and what a reasonable sale is for you. Everyone wants a beautiful house, but don’t try to over indulge yourself by looking for FSBOs that are out of your league. You’re looking for a great deal but they don’t always grow on trees. So if you’re not seeing anything you like for the price you can get it for - just be patient and something will come up.

Another step to take would be doing some research. You have to get to know the neighborhoods that you’re looking at. If you don’t, you may be buying in an area that doesn’t appreciate as well as others or you may be blind to what the houses are actually really worth paying for. Look up homes for sale surrounding the properties you’re interested in. Also, check out what homes have sold for in the past and put the pieces together to get an overall idea.

The most important thing would be to walk in just window shopping and not as a buyer. Buying and selling homes straight from the owner is a transaction which involves negotiating with both parties trying to get what they want, but you would have an easier time doing this by forming some sort of relationship with

the person. There must be an even playing field. You are able to tell the owner about yourself and your current situation. This will allow them to see what kind of person you are and how much they are willing to haggle with you based on what they see are your requirements. It is about money, but in a way, it can also be about respect for each other so that everyone is happy in the end. By walking in and getting to know the owner, hopefully the whole transaction will run smoothly from contract to closing.

Follow these steps when you are looking at FSBOs. It is a whole process and can be frustrating at times, but in the end it will be worth it when you are settled in a new home at a price you can be happy with. So keep looking if you’re in the market or keep this in mind if you plan on buying in the future.
