Why Sell For Sale By Owner?

Today, buyers shop FSBO first!

1. MORE ACTIVE, QUALIFIED BUYERS! Our powerful for sale by owner exposure network provides 20 times the exposure to active buyers than any agent's  listing service. Multiple worldwide web sites, one low fee.

2. In today's market, HOME BUYERS SHOP FSBO property FIRST. Buyers know that every home listed with an agent has an inflated price to cover the agent's expensive commission. Upper bracket homes, on avergae,  tend to skew a FASTER sales time when being sold FSBO using our marketing program.

3.   LESS HASSLE AND FRUSTRATION:  When selling by owner, you don't have to leave the house because an agent wants to show it, or clean it every morning before leaving "just in case". You know when people are coming, and can prepare accordingly. And when a buyer makes an offer, there's not all that frustrating back-and-forth telephone tag between agents to reach an agreement. It can be done in minutes, and end with a friendly handshake and smile between owner & buyer.  

4.   YOU CAN "SELL" YOUR HOME BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE:  You know your home best. The schools, the neighborhood, what is special about the area and the house, as well as other details about the property. A well-maintained, fairly priced home virtually sells itself; your role is simply to provide additional information. We'll help with assistance.

5.   YOU'RE IN CONTROL:  Nobody is going to tell you what to do. You can advertise where and how you want to, schedule showings when it's convenient for you, talk directly with prospective buyers yourself, even take your house off the market for a while if you can't find the right house for you. You aren't obligated to a 3, 6, or 12 month contract... you make your own rules.

6.   MORE $$$ IN YOUR POCKET:  You will save 7%  (and probably more)commission by doing it yourself.  On a $200,000 home you may save up to $14,000.  Here’s another way of looking at it.  Let’s say that your home will sell for $200,000 and you owe $144,000 on the mortgage… so you have $56,000 in equity.  If you pay $14,000 in sales commissions, that’s 25% of your equity (true commission = 25%).  Sell it yourself…and you'll keep your equity! Since 1996, our customers sell, on average, twice as fast as agent-listed homes.

7.   YOU CAN SELL FASTER:  List your home at a full commission with a real estate agent, you'll probably inflate the asking price to cover the cost of the commission (plus "wiggle room"). Two to four months later you'll come to the painful realization that no one is going to buy your home at that price. In today's market, buyers are not making "bids". Buyers are smarter than ever. Don't assume they'll offer you a price, if you are priced more than market value, they'll know it and go down the street and buy another house.  With an agent you'll end up reducing the price equal to the market price and still paying their high commission! Do it right the first time, and avoid taking the loss of your hard-earned equity. Where you make your money selling FSBO is the commission savings. You can be much more competitively priced, get every penny your property is worth, net more and sell faster.

8.   LESS UNCERTAINTY:  Because you meet the prospective buyers, you have a much better idea how interested people are, what they like about the home, how serious they are about buying and what their timeframe and situation is. The direct feedback is easier to live with than wondering how things are going, or worse, why no one has made an offer yet.

9.   IT'S EASY: "If you can sell your own car, you can sell your own home... it's that simple" said one of our home sellers. And he's right, once you find a buyer... lenders, lawyers or title companies will assist you. More importantly, we're with you every step of the way with any questions or assistance you may need.
