Thinking About Selling Your Home On Your Own?

Selling Your Home On Your Own

If you need to sell your home, and you are considering doing it on your own, it is probably
because you are trying to save the commission. Don't let someone tell you that it is
impossible, because it isn't. There are plenty of owners who successfully sell on their own.
Over the years, we have helped these owners and found that the most common issue for
owners is that they didn't realize the commitment and effort it would take. For a lot of them, it
became a full-time job.

Here are some questions to ask yourself before you put the sign in your yard.

  • How will I determine my asking price? Should I get an appraisal?
  • What will I do if someone wants to put an offer on my house? What happens next?
  • Where should I advertise my house?
  • How much money should I spend on advertising?
  • What will I do if an inspection comes back badly?
  • Are there government or county inspections I have to have performed?
  • How do I know if the buyer is qualified?
  • What is earnest money, and how much should I ask for?
  • Do I have a marketing strategy?
  • Will I be safe allowing strangers into my home? (We care about you and the safety of
    your family. Due to recent events in our area involving agents, please click here for
    free safety tips.)
  • Will my house be able to sell in a reasonable time if I can only show it on evenings
    and weekends when I'm not at work?
  • Am I able to negotiate the price and details of my sale without letting my emotions
    interfere and affect my bottom line?
  • How will I get enough exposure to get the best price possible without listing in the
    MLS?
