It is not unusual for homeowners to yield to the temptation to try to sell their own home. It seems easy enough--just place an ad in the weekend paper and wait for buyers to show up. Although it may seem simple, real estate sales transactions are extremely complex proceedings.

The first pitfall can come with pricing your property realistically. Homeowners often price their property too high initially, then drastically slash the price when weeks go buy without an offer. Even if a prospective buyer agrees to the initial asking price, there could be complications if the buyers begin to feel that they have agreed to pay too much, or if the lender's appraisal values the property at far less than the agreed-upon price. Some clients hire agents to market their home professionally after weeks or months of trying to sell their own home without success, or after their FSBO transaction fell through.

Unrepresented sellers also put themselves and their families and personal belongings at greater risk and danger.

Isn't the average FSBO about 3 weeks before they give it to the professionals in this business?  My favorite part about the actual FSBO - Company is they will happily help you "more" if you can't sell but listing it for 6%!

I really like your standardized structure of your blogs. Inviting, simple, and leads an individual to your site.  This is kind of what I have been feeling as I read more and more blogs. Has you noticed this to work especially well for you?
