For Sale By Owner
The adventure of a life time, are you really up for the challenge? As Real Estate Consultants we know that you would like to save money, who wouldn't, but is your sanity worth it.
Questions for a FSBO.
How did you arrive at the “asking” price of your home?
Did you compare your home to others on the market, the sale price of other homes similar to yours, or what your neighbor told you they sold their home for. The truth is that the asking price of other homes, could be the reason why it sold fast or has sat on the market. The price that a home sold for, may include closing cost paid by the seller, repair credits given to the buyer, or other undisclosed facts that you could not find out. Listening to a neighbor, well lets say this, they never want to admit that they took less that what they were asking.
As a home owner, you do not have access to pertinent information, such as how long the home has been on the market. If there has been a price reduction, or the condition of the home. Do the comparable homes offer a view, are they located in a subdivision, are they new construction, are they in a gated community? All of these factors, affect the price of a home,
email Reese to find out how. Did you know that the recent sale of homes in your neighborhood directly relates to the market value of your home?
Are you willing to pay out of pocket to advertise, extra fees for Open Houses, and rearrange your schedule to show your home?
Every home owner likes to see their home in print, those full color ads really sell your home, wrong, but we will get to that later. If you wanted to take out a full page ad and why not…..you have a great home. A full page ad is going to run $750.00 per month. ( Did we forget to mention that is in a specialty magezine, not the magazines that Realtors advertise in, you know the ones that most home buyers pick up in their search for a home. ) Even at 3 months, the average day on market is around 90 days in our area, that is $2,250.00 out of pocket. That is more that a Realtor pays to advertise your home in Homes & Land of Asheville. If you did not know, the Asheville book is the most requested out of all the 50 states. WOW, imagine advertising nationally not just locally!!!!!!!!
Open House, how much is that going to run you? Reese Morgani is my Realtor and they are FREE!!!!!!!!
How does a buyer find your home, what about those driving the neighborhood that they would like to buy in? Oh of course directional signs, how much are those???????? $15.00 each, ouch!!!!!! Are you aware of the sign ordinance in Asheville? Where is a Realtor when you need one…………click here for a listing consultation.
What is you are going on vacation, who is going to show the house? A buyer that is ready to buy, is not going to waste their time waiting on you to get back in town to see your home, after all they want to see it, to compare it to the other five that meet their needs and wants. Do you want to loose a buyer, because you wanted to save the price of commission, and sell it yourself.
Are you willing to wear to the hat of a Realtor, in addition to YOUR career? All for the sake of saving the cost of commission.
If a buyer wants to view your home, are you available whenever they call. Can you leave work to let a buyer in, just to find out that they are not “ready” to buy, rather just looking. Are your willing to loose a buyer because you have a doctor’s appointment at the same time that they want to stop by? In reality, how serious are you about selling your home. The commission free way is not always the hassle free way to sell your home. This may be your largest single transaction, leave if to the professionals.
What about a discount broker? A full service Realtor, at a discount price, right.
Wrong answer…………ever heard of what you pay for is what you get, well in this case, what you pay for is what you do. If you pay for a lock box, you pay for ads, you pay for signs, you arrange your own showings, you represent yourself in the transaction, you pay for forms, you pay for open houses, and finally you more than likely pay a buyer’s agent for bringing a buyer. You pay in the beginning, in the middle, and the end, why not sign a listing agreement with Reese Morgani as a full service REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT. There are no upfront cost, there are no advertising fees, or hassles of selling your home yourself. Click here to schedule a lisitng consultation with the BEST choice in real estate
