Here are some success tips from forsalebydiy.com & homeowners who have embraced a “Do It Yourself” Attitude when it came to selling their own home.
- GET YOUR MIND SET TO DO IT YOURSELF
- While teaming up with forsalebydiy.com, we will guide you through all the steps on how to sell your own home. You can Do it, we will help!
- RESEARCH THE CURRENT HOUSE MARKET AND SET YOUR ASKING PRICE ACCORDINGLY
- We offer you free home value services that will assist you in determining your asking price, for free.
- GET YOUR HOME READY TO BE SHOWN TO BUYERS
- Buyer’s look for homes that are in move-in condition.
- It’s time to get rid of clutter. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. When you drive up to your house, is it well kept? Is it time for fresh paint, repairs to be finished, etc… Remember: You usually only get one chance to make a great impression.
- HOW AM I GOING TO USE MY COMMISSION SAVINGS?
- Maybe a vacation that you have always dreamed about?
- Honestly, the alternative and beneficial way may be to use part of that savings to attract more buyers, faster! We will show you how.
- SUPPORTING CAST
- Contact a Real Estate Attorney to make them aware that you will be needing their services once you have received an offer.
- At forsalebydiy.com, we offer you a Real Estate Form provider so that you will have the necessary purchase, contract of sale, etc. forms to finalize the deal!
- Contact a forsalebydiy.com marketing specialist to review the home selling process and provide you with contact information for real estate professionals that you may need (Real Estate lawyers, mortgage brokers, etc.)
- Many houses have been sold just by word of mouth. Be sure to tell everyone you know that you are selling your home.
- MARKETING MY HOME
- Again, contact a forsalebydiy.com marketing specialist to review all services. We offer 3 levels of services. You choose the one that’s right for you.
- Services range from Top Real Estate Listings websites, forsalebydiy.com listing, Onsite consultation, lawn signs, fact sheets and so much more.
- SHOWING MY HOME
- No one knows your home better than you. That alone puts you at an advantage on pointing out all of your homes assets and best features.
- We will provide you with photo fact sheets so that you can give them to every person that views your home. The more the buyer is educated on the value of your home, the better your chance is to sell it.
- Hold an open house on the weekends. Another great way to showcase your home.
- Make sure to gather everyone’s name & contact information so that you can quickly check back with them to answer their questions or to close the sale!
- MAKE SURE THE BUYER CAN AFFORD IT
- While dealing with buyers, it’s recommended that they give you a written pre-approval letter. One of the most common concerns that a Do It Yourself (FSBO) may deal with is when your deal gets closer to a closing date and you find out that the buyer couldn’t afford the house. WOW. Now you have to start all over.
- NEGOTIATE WITH BUYERS
- Be ready for some interested buyers who may have expressed interest but may first have some objections.
- Make sure that you are able to present all of our homes features & benefits (new roof, 4 beds, etc.), it’s market value (comps of similar recent sales, appraisal) and possibly, present flexibility options to the buyer (closing date, terms of sale, etc.)
- CLOSE YOUR DEAL!
- You have just received and accepted an offer on your home. Now it is time to contact your Real Estate Attorney for their review and to gather the steps on the closing process.
- This is a time that you would have to be patient. It is now the time to assist your buyer (inspections, etc.) and attorney (title, closing, etc.) so that you can close the deal!
