Get The Facts about FSBO

There are two distinctly different ways to sell your home, here are the facts. One way is the traditional approach of contracting with a real estate broker, who markets your home on your behalf and is paid a percentage of your selling price in return for his marketing efforts. Depending upon the realtor and the value of your home, this can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Often, homeowners have convinced themselves that selling a house is a complicated process that can only be handled by a real estate professional. But those who know how to do it right are saving thousands of dollars by selling their real estate themselves.

You Are Your Home's Best Seller!

Have you stopped and thought about all of the good points of your property?

According to a national leading real estate publication, homes for sale by owner (FSBO) account for almost 25% of the national residential real estate market. Within the next seven years it is projected that 40% of all mortgage originations will take place over the Internet, according to a recent survey by a leading national consulting firm. The number of home sales taking place through Internet advertising is expected to increase accordingly.

The #1 reason a house doesn't sell quickly is incorrect pricing. You need to know what your property is worth so you don't overprice it or, worse yet, sell yourself short.
