This was posted on Twitter by someone trying to sell his home himself:
"If I can't line up a buyer by May month-end, I'll raise the price and get a Realtor involved. Hope I don't have to do THAT."
He posted that in the morning on April 27th. Then, a little over 24 hours later on April 28th, he posted this:
"Got a buyer for my condo. They want me to hold the mortgage. Any advice?"
This is an intelligent, technologically savvy home owner in Arizona who wants to sell a home without using a real estate agent.
Why? We can only guess, of course, but it appears he's trying to keep from paying the commission. But he's willing to sell the home for a lower price to do so. In addition, he's found a "buyer" who now wants him to hold the mortgage.
What would you say to this home owner? Why should he get a REALTOR® now and not later?
I know your responses may be longer than might be appropriate in a comment, so I invite you to write your responses as your own posts and link them here in the comments.
Maybe I'll forward this to him when we have a few responses. I mean, he did ask for some advice.
