If
I try to sell my home myself, I know I can save the sales commission.
So
what could I lose?
Time
To
get your home sold, you would have to advertise and then baby sit
the phone, waiting for responses to your ad. We have an office staff
to handle this and to sort out serious callers from others. We can
also pre-qualify prospective buyers and make arrangements to show
the house.
Money
You're
likely to attract bargain-hunting buyers who seek out for-sale-by-owner
homes, expecting to get a lower purchase price because of the saved
sales commission. We will advise you how to price the house to sell
fast for the best price.
Access
Self-selling
limits exposure to prospects who see the yard sign, if one is used,
or newspaper ads. We bring with us a network of contacts and a computerized
listing service that puts every agent in town to work selling your
house.
Peace of mind
When
selling by owner, the homeowner is responsible for negotiating a legal
contract and seeing that every detail of the contract is carried out.
We can screen out unqualified prospects, help arrange financing, and
shepherd the sale to settlement.
