Open House - What If I Get An Offer |

||||||||||||||||||||
You've decided to sell your home yourself and decide to have an open house to show off the property. Potential buyers come and you get an offer. What now?
Qualifying Buyers Call several lenders before you schedule your open house. Tell them you're planning an open house and you'd like to have a lender on hand to help buyers (even if they don't want to buy your home) figure out what they can afford. Tell them you'd also like them to help you evaluate any lender letter you're offered by a potential buyer. Choose the lender you feel most comfortable with and work out a mutually acceptable date for your open house. Be Prepared for Action FSBO sellers often worry whether anyone will attend their open houses. They are then happily surprised when people arrive. Such happiness can turn to embarrassment when an offer is made and the FSBO seller isn't sure how to handle it. If you think positively and prepare, this need not happen to you..

Very true. Always be prepared. I will say that from what I have heard, most potential FSBOs will not even think about it in this market. This is great advice for anyone trying to do it on their own, but I always think a good Realtor is a better choice. Have a great rest of the week.
