Selling on your own?  Did you know that reports indicate that even those few that manage a successful unrepresented sale still choose a Realtor to buy their next home?  Here's a great post from Mimi Foster of Colorado Springs, CO about this interesting statistic:

Original content by Mimi Foster

Over the years in my real estate career I have come across printed material that has been useful in different areas.  Realizing early on that an Unrepresented Seller (also known as a FSBO) was a very warm market, I started gleaning bits and pieces from here and there, writing and adding my own copy, and I assembled them into a 23 page booklet that I present to Unrepresented Sellers at opportune times.

Here is the next installment of the booklet, the outline of which can be found on my Unrepresented Seller link.  Please feel free to ask any questions or add any comments that you think would benefit this topic.



81% of buyers
81%
of Buyers (four out of five) purchase their
homes through a Real Estate Agent.

Attracting potential Buyers is a major
problem encountered by many owners
who are trying to sell their own home. 

But the true benefit of a Seller's Agent happens after a Buyer
has been found and the mounds of paperwork and
legal details and inspections and appraisals and
loan processing needs to be addressed.


As a full-time Real Estate Specialist, it is my job to handle
all of these issues AND many more AND to get you the
HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE, so that the sale of your home
and subsequent move are as smooth as possible.

Advertising does not sell homes,
Real Estate Professionals do!!
