There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For
Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware.
Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer
knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare to others like it in the
bay area?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this
property?"
"What about financing? Can you help?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the
paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a Realtor? Is there something
wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a Realtor, we can take their
fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial
transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home
is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer
wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market
value?
Almost all homes are sold using a Realtor. As Realtors, it
is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for
nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally and
even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of
escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that
before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely
costly.
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as
possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a
good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal
this one."
If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a
sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and we'll do a
quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth.
We'll also describe, as experienced Realtors, how we would market your
property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply Call or Email us.
