Selling Your Central Wisconsin Home? You Need A Keller Williams Professional in Your Corner

Thinking of Selling Your Home? Here’s Why You Need A Pro in Your Corner

With Central Wisconsin home prices on the rise and buyer demand still strong, some sellers may be tempted to try and sell their homes on their own without using the services of a real estate professional.

Sellers must realize that their ability to negotiate will determine whether or not they get the best deal for themselves and their families.  Keller Williams real estate agents are well trained and experienced in negotiation and, in most cases, the seller is not.

Here is a list of just some of the people with whom the seller must be prepared to negotiate with if they decide to For Sale by Owner (FSBO):

  • The buyer who wants the best deal possible
  • The buyer’s agent who solely represents the best interests of the buyer
  • The buyer’s attorney who solely represents the best interests of the buyer
  • The home inspection companies, which work for the buyer and will almost always find some problems with the house
  • The buyer’s lender if the structure of the mortgage requires the sellers’ participation
  • The appraiser if there is a question of value
  • The title company if there are challenges
  • The town or municipality if you need to get permits
  • The buyer’s buyer in case there are challenges with the house your buyer is selling

Bottom Line

The percentage of sellers who have hired real estate agents to sell their homes has increased steadily over the last 20 years. Meet with a professional at Keller Williams to see the difference that he or she can make in easing the selling process for you.

Morning Bob.

Before becoming a Realtor®, I bought and sold several homes.  Never tried to do it myself.  Always used a professional, I just don't understand to this day why one would try it.

Good morning Bob. A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. And the lawyer goes to school much longer. So, should you be a FSBO? Enjoy your day!

Hello Bob - "selling" a home is a lot more involved than simply putting up a "for sale" sign.  Your suggestions for success in Central Wisconsin are smart.

Great list, Bob. I think sellers, for the most part, have no idea of what they could be up against should they try to sell on their own.

Hi, Bob Crane, hope you are having a great week.  I believe people trying to sell FSBO  do not know all the steps to the dance and how to perform them in a professional and  $$$dollar-winning$$$ manner,   Also,  they take on unbelievable stress because of a lack of knowledge and experience .   This stress would be greatly reduced in working with a Keller Williams real estate agent.

My last fsbo took about a month to win over.  He had been on the market for several months, was going through a divorce and was offering his home for 70k less than market value.  He had a failed escrow, there were easement problems and inspection issues.  You name it, it went wrong.  It was a stressful time for him and he needed it to be over.  I sold it in 9 days for $73, 000 more than he was asking and  probably even more important I was able to make it a smooth transaction for him.  He has since become one of my biggest fans and we have very happy buyers. 

Even though I am a licensed agent and very good at what I do.  I use another Realtor to sell my personal homes.
