In some cases, people think the best idea may be to sell their home themselves. Occasionally, it does make sense but generally, having a local Real Estate expert guide you through the process saves time and money. Here is a list of just some of the basics that as your listing agent I will do. Saving money on real estate commissions can cost you in lost time and money. Here are just a few things to consider:
You will need a comprehensive market analysis with comparable properties from your local neighborhood.
You will need an expert price valuation so your home can sell quickly without over / under-pricing it. Price is key. Hint: If it's not selling, it's likely the price!
You will need a comprehensive marketing campaign in order to receive the highest possible price.
You will need to network with other Realtors who have buyers looking in your neighborhood.
You will need a local advertising campaign including the creation of print and Internet advertising.
You will need proper signage (and flyers available) to promote your home as potential buyer walk or drive by.
You will need the proper legal representation to assure the transaction takes place smoothly.
You will need someone to coordinate showings and other appointments.
You will need someone to conduct, and drive traffic to, your Open House(s).
You will need an experienced negotiator who knows what is reasonable and customary and what is not.
You will need an expert who understands contingencies, cash offers and the relative strength of potential buyers.
These are just a few items to consider when thinking about selling your home yourself. At the end of the day, it just isn't worth it. Contact me today and I can help you sell your home for the most possible money and make sure you have an easy transaction.
