A Smarter Way Than FSBO

Are you considering selling your house on your own as a “For Sale by Owner” (FSBO)? You may want to think about it; will it be worth the extra stress? Selling your home on your own means you personally will be labored with much responsibility. If you’re not experienced, it can cause mistakes to happen and can be completely overwhelming over time.

When you enlist the help of a licensed Realtor, you’ll eliminate the stress that is on you to price your home right and go through all the paperwork that is needed for this type of transaction.

Here’s a few ways listing your home with a Realtor can make all the tasks a lot easier.

Setting the Right Price

Offering your home for sale for the right price is extremely important. If you’re selling it on your own, two issues can happen in regard to pricing. Maybe you put in on the market for too much. It’s overpriced, thereby potentially eliminating many buyers. Or you may not ask enough. Either of these situations can make it hard to sell your house.

First impressions matter. When you debut your home for sale, it’s your first chance to attract a buyer. It’s important to get the pricing right. If it’s overpriced, buyers may not see the listing. But if it’s priced too low you could end up leaving a significant amount of money on the table. A super low price could also turn some buyers away, wondering if there are any underlying issues with the house.

You should always look to a professional Realtor when selling a home. They are skilled in how to get to the perfect sales price because they know the local housing market. They also use their expertise to set a price that matches what buyers are willing to pay.

OH! The Paperwork…

Selling a home involves A LOT of paperwork. The legalities of it to be completely accurate. There are also rules and regulations to follow, making it all tricky for homeowners to navigate everything on their own. You need a professional to assist in the transaction or you could end up facing liability risks and even legal complications. Having a Realtor involved in selling your home means you have experts in your corner handling all the paperwork that goes with selling a house. Realtors know all the rules and can guide you through the entire process. This will lessen the chance of mistakes being made that can lead to legal problems or delays.

When you sell (or buy) a home you need to accurately complete many forms, disclosures, and legal documents. A real estate agent ensures everything is done correctly and on time to help avoid having your transaction fall through and to prevent any costly mistakes.
