Once you've made the decision to sell your home, you'll need to decide if you want to try to sell it yourself with legal help, or list it with a Realtor. CLICK HERE FOR A FREE CMA - COMPARABLE MARKET ANALYSIS OR FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW
If you choose a Realtor, you'll be asked to sign a listing agreement, which is one of several types of contracts in which you hire a real estate firm to find a ready, willing, and able buyer for your home in exchange for a set fee.
Why It Can Be So Hard to Sell Your Own Home
Some people are able to sell their own homes without the services of a Realtor. Some are successful, experienced home sellers. Others transfer ownership of their home to a child, or to a co-worker or a tenant who's already living in the home. However, these transactions are the exception, not the norm. For most people, a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction simply isn't in the cards. Here are six reasons why.
1. FSBOs can't list their home in the MLS.
Are you covered under their Errors and Ommissions Insurance? No, so you are still taking on all that liability.
2. Agents might not show FSBO homes.
3. FSBOs usually overprice their home.
4. Buyers will feel intimidated.
5. FSBOs are likely to stumble into legal trouble.
6. Time is of The Essence
Other scarey reasons why you should not represent yourself is that you are allowing complete strangers into your home - some might be genuine buyers, some might be there to 'case the joint' - one thing you can be sure of is that you don't know whether any of them are even qualified to buy your home.
Not being available immediately, to show your home when you get that call, will cost you a sale.
Not answering your phone each time it rings, even if it is at 11 at night, could cost you a buyer because, if buyers don't get an immediate answer, they simply move on to the next one.
This all sounds "one sided", but isn't it the truth? Think about it. What do you have to lose ...
If I don't sell it .... it doesn't cost you a cent!!
