For Sale By Owner - Why consult a Professional?

FSBO - "For Sale By Owner" Why consult a Professional? 

     I recently got a call from a FSBO who was moving out of the area, during the call the "sellers" never told me it they had been listed as a FSBO. Upon meeting the clients I had prepared a Market Analysis of their home  like I would with any listing. We met discussed the reason for selling and moving and I explained my Marketing Program and moved forward with the listing. Once I shared my listing price the clients told me they had been on the market as a FSBO for three weeks with no activity! My listing price was $10,000 more than what they had listed the home for as a FSBO, the sellers ask how will you get that price? When you consult with a real estate professional we know the market trends for the area and recent statistics for the neighborhood. Its our job as a listing agent to get our "sellers" top dollar! We priced the home for the market, in four days we had three offers and sold the home for $15,000 above the original asking price of the sellers!

   Turn "For Sale" to "SOLD!" Sellers want three things: to sell their property quickly, for the highest price, with little to no hassle. Our job, as their professional consultant, is to nail the three elements that will lead them to a closed transaction:

1. The price - determined by the market.
2. The condition - determined by the seller.
3. The marketing, offers, and negotiations - determined by us the agent.

     When your ready to turn "FOR SALE" to "SOLD" please give us a call: 252-714-1686
