1.
Less Hassle and Frustration:
When selling by owner, you don’t have to leave the house
because an agent wants to show it, or clean it every morning
before leaving "just in case". You know when
people are coming and can prepare accordingly. And, when a
buyer makes an offer, there’s not all that frustrating
back-and-forth telephone tag between agents to reach an
agreement. It can be done in minutes, and end with a
friendly handshake and smile between owner and buyer.
2. You can sell your
home better than anyone:
You know your home best. The schools, the neighborhood, what
is special about the area and the house, as well as other
details about the property. A well maintained, fairly priced
home virtually sells itself; your role is to simply provide
additional information.
3.
You're in Control:
Nobody is going to tell you what to do. You can advertise
where and how you want to (not sit by in frustration because
"they’re not doing enough"), schedule showings
when it’s convenient for you, talk directly with
prospective buyers yourself, even take your house off the
market for awhile if you can’t find the right house for
you. You aren’t obligated to a 3,6, or 12 month
contract... you make your own rules.
4.
More $$$ in your Pocket:
Calculate 6-7% of what you think your property is worth,
then ask yourself: Is it worth paying this much to have
someone else show my property, act as a go-between to
negotiate the sale and coordinate closing schedules with the
lender and lawyer? Unless your last name is Trump, chances
are the answer is NO.
5.
You can Sell Faster:
If you list your home with a real estate
agent, you’ll probably inflate the asking price to cover
the cost of the commission. 2 to 4 months later you’ll
come to the painful realization that no one is going to buy
your home at that price, and you’ll end up reducing your
price (or accepting an offer) equal to the original amount
you would have asked if selling by owner. Do it right the
first time, and avoid taking the loss.
6. Buyers are
interested in YOUR Home:
You can be sure that buyers are
truly interested in your property whey they visit because
they have personally made the effort to be there...they
haven’t been dragged there by an agent using your property
for comparison purposes only.
7. You have great
access to Out-of-Town Buyers!
We mail the magazine to
relocation inquiries each month. And our Internet site
allows buyers anywhere in the world, easy access to your ad
and phone number. Currently, it is estimated that 60 million
people have internet access.
8.
Less Uncertainty:
Because you meet the prospective buyers, you have a much
better idea how interested people are, what they like about
the home, how serious they are about buying and what their
timeframe and situation is. The direct feedback is easier to
live with than wondering how things are going, or worse, why
no one has made an offer yet.
9.
IT'S EASY!
"If you can sell your own car, you can sell your own
home.. it’s that simple" said one of our home
sellers. And he’s right, once you find a buyer, the hard
part’s over. If you want someone to guide you and the
buyer through the process, then maybe our
Assistance Option
Program is just what you need. All the paperwork done, and
guidance provided for a minimal fee.
