“For Sale By Owner” vs. Hiring a Realtor
Ask yourself these important questions when deciding whether to work with a listing agent to sell your home.
* Do you understand the relevant federal laws, state regulations and disclosure laws governing real estate transactions?
* Have you gathered current market condition data for your neighborhood from a qualified source? Are you making valid market comparisons in order to determine the real value of your property?
* Are you prepared to create your own marketing plan? Are you prepared to answer inquiries from prospective buyers and/or their agents?
* Are you prepared to be available weekends and evenings in order to show the property?
* Do you understand the forms associated with a real estate transaction, e.g. the purchase contract; the counter offer? Do you have the knowledge to negotiate the purchase?
* Do you have a clear understanding of financing, including the advantages/disadvantages of seller carrybacks?
Selling your home on your own requires knowledge, time, energy, creativity and patience. If you are not prepared to deal with the complex aspects of the real estate transaction, you may want to consider the knowledge and expertise that a Realtor can provide.
