Considerations When Selling On Your Own
Consider the following . . .
The average homeowner overprices his home but eventually accepts a price lower than market value. A REALTORŪ can objectively price the home based on actual comparable sales.
Homes are purchased by comparison and you have only one
property to show.
It is difficult for a seller to create rapport with a buyer because no relationship
has been established. In some cases, an adversarial position occurs because there is no
third party negotiator.
You may hear conflicting suggestions regarding the sale of your home from well-
intentioned friends. A REALTORŪ can see the entire picture and offer advice based on a
wide range of experiences.
A REALTORŪ can offer expert advice to sell the home quickly by preparing the home
prior to placing it on the market.
Your method of attracting buyers is a sign in the yard and an ad in the paper, but
REALTORSŪ have many proven methods of promoting your property.
The average prospect isn't likely to freely discuss his likes and dislikes with a
homeowner but will with a REALTORŪ. This is a necessary step in the decision- making
process.
It is difficult for you to follow-up with prospects who have seen your home because
it might be interpreted as anxiety to sell, which could give the impression you will take
less for your home.
Is it the highest and best use of your time to try to sell your home or would you
be more productive at your chosen profession?
The Multiple Listing Service is considered to be one of the most effective tools in
exposing a home to the market- place. Do you feel you can get the highest price for your
home without MLS?
