HouseCenter.Com Tips for FSBO

(For Sale By Owner)

Question: How to decide to go to an agent or do it by myself?
Answer: With the potential savings that can be gained--saving $2000, $6,000, $20,000 or more after deducting your expenses, by not having to pay a Realtor's fee, many people are wondering why less than 10% of homeowners undertake the task of selling their houses on their own. Possibly it has something to do with expertise or the marketing strategy which brokers have. Many home owners who consider a FSBO have been set back when they see the level of knowledge and commitment that is needed to do an effective job. The most successful home sellers are those who take an active role in the process, whether it is as a sale by owner or a sale by a broker. If you feel that the best way is go FSBO, then having as much information at hand is the key. As HouseCenter.Com noted, most of home sellers don't know it is an art, instead of luck, to sell a home.

Question: What are the advantages of selling my house on my Own?
Answer: No commission to be paid, then you receive all of the proceeds (less marketing costs); You are in total control of the transaction; If mistakes are made, they are your own, there is no one else to make mistakes "for" you; If your equity is low, you may be able to sell your house without having to write a check; You are always available at the home for showings, answering inquiries to buyers.

Question: What are the disadvantages of selling my house on my own?
Answer: You must rely on your own instincts; All marketing and advertising costs are your own, which can be an expensive proposition; You do not have access to the MLS--the Multiple Listing Service, you must hunt for buyers one at a time; Without all the tools in hand, you may underprice or overprice the house; If you are not skilled in negotiation, you may leave money on the table; All of the paperwork, legal forms, etc. are your responsibility and must be handled by you; If you want to give maximum benefit to your efforts, your free time will be somewhat or severely limited; Many buyers believe that if you are selling on your own and not paying a commission, it is they (the buyers) who should get the saving--not you; As you approach negotiations, you must sever emotional ties with your house or you will place yourself at a disadvantage; You must become knowledgeable of legal and financial issues to be most effective.

Question: How to find a contractor to do the repairing job for me?
Answer: While hiring contractors recommended by friends is usually a safe route, never hire a construction professional without first checking him or her out. If your state has a licensing board for contractors, call to find out if there are any outstanding complaints against that license holder. Also, call your local Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints on file. If you are satisfied with the answers you find there, interview the contractor candidates. Ask what kind of worker's compensation insurance they carry and get policy and insurance company phone numbers so you can verify the information. If they are not covered, you could be liable for any work-related injury incurred during the project. Also be sure that the contractor has an umbrella general liability policy. If they pass the insurance hurdle, next check some of their references. A good contractor will be happy to provide as many as you want. Finally, don't let yourself be rushed into making a decision no matter how competitive the market may seem. Also, never pay a deposit to a contractor at the first meeting. You may end up losing your money.
