Why Buy For Sale By Owner?
1. SAVES YOU MONEY
Buying directly from the homeowner in a OwnerList.com transaction can save you thousands of dollars in real estate commission. The 6-7% commission that is typically charged by real estate agents will often be added to the total cost of the home. You, the buyer, are paying this commission in the purchase price. Eliminating the commission from the price of the home will lower the cost, resulting in more home for your money.
2. SAVES YOU TIME
You deal directly with the homeowner rather than through a third party. Communication is faster, more direct and to the point. You will get more accomplished in a shorter length of time which means, "You can be in your new home sooner!"
3. EASY TO DO
Some people think that purchasing real estate from anyone other than a real estate agent or broker is difficult. This myth is far from the truth. Purchasing a home via OwnerList.com is simple.
4. BROKER INVOLVEMENT
If you see this symbol, the seller has arranged for a neutral 3rd-party broker to help with the contract, paperwork and closing.
Other properties on OwnerList.com may have been placed there by listing brokers who want to extend their market reach beyond their competitors - the only requirement that OwnerList.com has is that the broker agrees to reduce his fees to the seller if you come in as an independent buyer. This allows you, the buyer, to save also.
Also, you can negotiate into your contract with the seller the use of a neutral 3rd party broker, with the seller to pay the minor expense of that broker. You could just as easily stipulate that the seller pay for an attorney to represent you, however, most sellers would opt for the neutral broker rather than the representing attorney.
