Why You Can Sell Your Home Privately And More Profitably Than A Real Estate Agent Checklist By Darryl Howse
|
When a change in your personal circumstances drives you to sell your home, the question most commonly asked is "Can I sell it myself?"
The answer is a resounding YES! And there is good reason if not just apart from being more profitable, to do it.
Two main reasons that make you consider selling your home by yourselves are:
1. To save on realtor commissions. When you sell your property through a realtor or estate agent, a chunk of that money (profit) goes to the realtor as their commission. However there is a general feeling that many realtors do not deserve or even work for you, in order to earn the money.
Would you agree that the commission you pay a realtor is better off in your pocket? I am sure you do.
2. Many for sale by owners have had an experience in the past with an estate agent or realtor that was shall we say, less than impressive. Speak to any of your friends, family or work colleagues and you are assured of hearing at least one horror story to do with using a realtor.
It appears from many surveys done of buyers worldwide that many end up using a realtor for one simple reason...
The buyers do not like to have anything to do with the owners and don't want any interaction whatsoever.
And that is fully understandable as negotiations can be difficult, but they don't have to be.
Furthermore when we dig deeper and start looking at the root cause of why buyers don't like dealing with the owner you will find that they feel the private seller has overvalued their house because they don't know the market.
In addition some of the marketing methods used by for sale by owners can be pretty amatuer to say the least.
If you are selling your property or thinking about it, the following checklist, will tell you if you have what it takes to make thousands more in profit by doing it yourself.
Consider the following very seriously:
