Here is the truth - many Americans have challenged the real estate community and saved themselves thousands of dollars by selling their homes themselves.

Although, no one can guarantee that selling your home on your own will be easy… or that it will be hassle-free… or that you won’t ultimately turn to a real estate professional to list your home - the simple fact remains that many people before you have successfully sold their home on their own.

Our question for you:  

Do you have the edge you need to conquer both other “FSBOs” in your community and competitive properties listed and marketed by real estate agents?   

Let’s face it - they are your competition… and in order to be successful on your own you need to have a detailed plan in place to capture the right buyer for your home.

There are 5 steps to selling a home:

1. Preparing Your Home For Sale

Buyers almost always see only what is in front of them. Which means, don’t ever expect a buyer to see the “potential” your home has to offer… because they typically only see and ultimately offer on what is here and now

2. Pricing Your Home For Sale

One of the greatest obstacles to selling a home on your own… and one of the most common mistakes that many “FSBOs” make… is in pricing the home for sale.

What typically happens is that many “FSBOs” overprice their homes – thus the reason that over 90% of them eventually fail and list with an agent.

3. Marketing Your Home Successfully

How most buyers find their next home and how to make sure you get your home in front of those buyers.  

4. Qualifying Your Potential Buyer

Is the buyer financing the purchase and are they pre-approved or are they pre-qualified?  What type of loan? FHA? VA? Conventional? Jumbo? 1031 Exchange?

5. Finalizing the sale and Getting Paid

Disclosures, inspections, negotiations, contingencies, appraisals, escrow, recording.  

Here are several other key questions you need ask before determining if selling on your own is the way to go for you and your family.

  1. Are you comfortable letting strangers into your home?

  2. Are you a risk taker?

  3. Do you have the time to learn about your legal disclosure requirements as a seller?

  4. Do you want to sell in the next 30 days?

  5. Are you willing to handle the paperwork yourself?

  6. Are you willing to negotiate face-to-face with a buyer or agent?

  7. Are you a patient person?

  8. Ultimately - do you have the TIME?  

There is no FREE lunch… selling a home is a lot of work and in order to save the commission you will be required to spend a great deal of your time on the process.
