Do you want to put your home on the market? Maybe you’ve decided to try selling it yourself without involving a real estate agent, after all you would potentially be saving a lot of money. It is not always as simple as it sounds, however. There are a lot of factors you should consider first. Here are a few:
There is a lot of legal information you will need to find out ahead of time. You will need to be familiar with various rules and regulations and also what kinds of agreements you should have. While this may seem like a lot of work, if you are very organized and do your research, you can be successful.
It’s important to remember that real estate agents are experts in their field. They know the market well. You will need to be very knowledgeable in this area as well. For example, you might want a certain amount of money for your home and could waste a lot of time trying to get it, when homes are not selling for that much in your area. Again, do your research!!
Don’t try to cut corners and save more money, especially with important issues. A key step is having a pre-listing home inspection performed by an InterNACHI certified home inspector for example.
You may find that a potential buyer is more comfortable dealing with a real estate agent, rather that the seller directly.
Its clear to see that there is a lot of work and research required if you decide to sell your home yourself. However, it is possible to make a success of it. Please feel free to contact us, we are happy to help you with this stressful process.
