Many homeowners believe that to maximize their profit on a home sale they should sell it themselves. They feel selling a home is simple and why should they pay a Realtor® for something they can do themselves?
Many FSBO s don't fully realize that the time, paperwork and everyday responsibilities involved were not worth the amount of money they saved in commissions. The financial savings were even more disappointing. Most realize that they would have been better off having a Realtor® handling all the details of their sale and not having to worry about the fees they incurred in dealing with appraisers, inspectors, title lawyers, escrow and loan officers, marketing, and advertising.
Am I willing to answer the phone at all hours of the day and night?
Am I willing to show my home only on the weekends or anytime of the day or evening?
Can I take time off from work to show my home to an anxious out of town buyer who can't wait until Saturday or Sunday?
These are just some of the questions you should ask yourself when considering selling your own home. I invite you to check out Things to Consider on my website at http://www.HalliEckhoff.com for an in depth look at what's involved with selling a home yourself. Should you decide that selling your home yourself is not the right option for you then I would love to hear from you and begin putting a solid plan together to list, market and sell your home for you. As always you are under no obligation - I simply want you to know all your options.
