For Sale by Owner or Use a Realtor? Real Estate, Murfreesboro Realtor for Home Buyers and Sellers.

April 15, 2010 - PRLog -- For Sale by Owner or Use a Realtor?
For Sale By Owner is just as it sounds, a homeowner trying to sell their home without the assistance of a REALTOR. Can you do this, sure! Do they actually get their house sold, sure! Is it typical? No. About 80% of FSBO's end up listing their homes with a Professional REALTOR anyway. Here's why:
1. I do not have the time to make appointments during the day or during normal business hours.
2. How do I know if these potential buyers can qualify for my home?
3. I am not aware of the legal documentation that should accompany a contract.
4. How do you pick a Title Company, and who is suppose to pay their fees?
5. What if the Buyer backs out of the contract?
6. Can I sell my home for market price without using a REALTOR?
7. What coverage do I have if the Buyer sues me a year after closing?
8. Is it worth having a home inspection before putting the house on the market?
9. Who does the home warranty really protect?
10. Will I really be saving the real estate commission if I try to sell myself?
These are some of the many questions that homeowners have to ask themselves before embarking on this endeavor without a professional. What some homeowners don't realize is that most REALTORS do care. This is our livelihood. We want to sell your home for the highest possible price; our commission is based on sales price. So when we say the house is overpriced, it is! Our goal is to have a smooth transaction, and you be happy with the outcome so the next time to have to buy or sell, you think of us.

Please feel free to call or email me anytime.
