Thinking of selling your home in Allen, Tx or surrounding area?  Maybe you want to save a few dollars and try seling your home For Sale By Owner.  That's what Colby Sambrotto (the founder of ForSaleByOwner.com) tried to do when he attempted to sell his New York condominium.

Mr. Sambrotto was unsuccessful at selling his home on his own even after spending six months trying.  He hired a New York Broker who was able to get Mr. Sambrotto multiple offers and was able to sell it for more than original asking price!  According to a Wall Street Journal article that discussed the sale of the condo Sambrotto discussed why he hired a broker:

“Looking to move his family to the suburbs, [Mr. Sambrotto] said he carefully staged his apartment for sale himself, and put it on the market. But after using a mix of websites to publicize his apartment, he said he had only ‘middling success’ and switched to a broker because many buyers were so reliant on brokers.”

Selling a home isn't just about putting a sign in the yard, putting it on the MLS, and waiting for a buyer to stop by.  Real estate professionals are constantly networking and getting their clients homes in front of qualified buyers as well as getting the word out to agents in the area that may have the perfect buyer for that home.

If you are thinking of selling be sure to meet with 2 to 3 top real estate teams and then determine which group would work best with you to get your home sold in a timely manner.
