INFORMATION FOR SELLERS

Is "FOR SALE BY OWNERS " a Right Choice for You?

What is more important? Netting the most money from your property sale or paying the least amount of commission?

Based upon a 2002 study of 37,000 consumers who either bought/sold a home: "Homes sold with the assistance of a real estate professional had a median sales price of 27 percent higher than those sold For Sale By Owner."

Why? It's very simple. Buyers who look for For Sale By Owner properties are looking for either, 1) a deal; or 2) owner financing because they cannot qualify under conventional means. Why do all the work, spend all the advertising money, and waste all your weekends and get less than you would with a Realtor? Does it make sense?

Very nicely put and don't forget  the maze of legal paperwork a Realtor is proficient at traveling thru, its why we do continuing education.  Not all homeowners are up on the latest rules and regulations that govern real estate transaction.

Very true.  Most sellers do not realize all that goes into selling a home.  It is a lot more than just putting up a sign there are numerous forms and rules and regulations that must be followed to ensure a smooth transaction that is where a good REALTOR can help.
