Is it a Good Idea to
Sell Your Home Yourself?
Are you thinking about
selling your home? Have you been thinking of selling it by yourself
instead of hiring a real estate agent? There are several advantages of
selling your home yourself, but there are disadvantages as well. To
make it easier for you to make a decision find the most important pros
and cons below.
The most important PRO for selling your home yourself is MONEY. Selling
your home without the help of an agent means more Money in your
pocket!
By selling it yourself you save the commissions and fees. - We are not
talking about pennies, we are talking about THOUSANDS of dollars which
you would have to pay an agent.
Another advantage is that you are able to decide the times for open
houses and showings. It is also completely up to you where and when
you want to advertise.
Unlike a real estate agent who is selling many houses, you can focus
on YOUR house, because you are only selling your own house. It is
obvious that you will have more interest in the sale than an agent..
But as mentioned above there are also disadvantages selling your house
yourself. Real estate agents are paid a lot of money for a reason.
Selling a home takes a lot of energy and time. Dealing with potential
buyers, open houses, closing sales and of course dealing with legal
issues. Real estate agents are familiar with all the above and their
experience can impact the sale.
Be realistic when making a decision! Will you drop everything to make
a showing? Do you think you are indeed a good negotiator and ask for
an offer? Are you 100% sure you are able to close a deal? Selling a
home is a big project! It is not everyone who can take on such a big
project and can stay calm and professional when dealing with buyers.
Selling your home is not impossible, but it is a challenge. If this
challenge excites you and if you are willing to learn then it is not
impossible managing selling your home without the help of an agent.
With some know-how and a lot of energy you can sell your house without
the help of a real estate agent and save thousands.
So how to start? Sit down and start evaluating your house. Finding the
right price is the first and most important step when selling your
home yourself.
