Hints For Selling Your Home "By Owner"

  • Don't short change your house preparation effort. You will be competing with houses listed by Agents who coach sellers about preparing their homes for sale, based on experience.
  • Be aware of legal requirements regarding disclosures in your area. Not disclosing necessary information or not using the correct form could result in legal action by a buyer.
  • Get good at advertising and marketing for sale by owner homes. Make your house stand out above the crowd.
  • Familiarize yourself with offers and contracts now.
  • Get maximum exposure. We offer a complete menu of services if you want to sell your home on your own. Packages available range from a comprehensive marketing plan up to a complete deluxe package that will market your property until it is sold and keep your home on the MLS and Realtor.com for up to 6 months.
  • Be aware of equal housing opportunity laws. Discrimination limits your potential market and is illegal with fines up to or beyond $ 10,000.
  • If selling your house on your own is your choice, this checklist will be of great value to you. If you think using an Agent is best, see the section devoted to finding and selecting an Agent.
