Selling your own home: there's a lot more to it than simply pounding a "For Sale" sign into your front lawn!
Even if your yard sign did lead a buyer to knock on your front door, how would you handle the following questions?
"We'd like to see your house right now - can we come in?"
"How does your home compare to similar homes in Madison?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?"
"Can you help me with financing such as a land contract?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?"
"Have you had the house pre-inspected?"
"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you'll ever make in your life. Every home is different, and every homebuyer's goal is to get the house for as little as possible. How do you determine the true market value?
Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As a top Madison Realtor, it's my job to help you negotiate with buyers who want to pay as little as possible. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Madison and globally via the Internet, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. With the professional representation of an experienced selling agent, I'll ensure you avoid costly errors.
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as little as possible. While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might seem like a good idea, it usually means something very different thing to buyers: "these people probably don't know what they're doing".
If you must sell your own home, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what your home is worth in the current market. As an experienced, top Madison real estate agent, I analyze the market daily and can help you establish a fair price. I'll also explain how I'll market your property to fully leverage the Internet, where over 80% of all buyers begin their search for a home. This is FREE report, with no obligation whatsoever so you have nothing to lose. Contact me and let's schedule a time to discuss how to go about achieving your objectives.
