Selling Your Fredericksburg Texas Home by Yourself?

Dec 02, 2008

Hoping Doesn't Sell Real Estate!

When you put a “For Sale” sign in the front yard of your Fredericksburg Texas home Texas Hill Country ranch with the intent on closing the sale yourself, there are two aspects of this decision that you should consider: real estate marketing and transaction negotiation.

When you choose to market the real estate property yourself, for example through the newspaper and the sign in the yard, how many people will be exposed to your offer?  Yes, there are some buyers who cruise neighborhoods and some who scan want-ads but consider this - more than 80% of the buyers out there begin their search on the internet.  Buyers seek information and they will go to the place where it is most convenient to get it.

 

Now, if by chance the sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you answer the following questions?

How does your Fredericksburg Texas home compare to others in the neighborhood or area?

How did you decide on the price of your home?

Do you know where I can get a home loan?

Would you be willing to owner finance?

If I decide to make an offer, how do we do the paperwork?

Most people use a real estate agent or REALTOR® why did you choose to not use their services?

Since you are not using any agent or REALTOR®, you will deduct their fee off your price, right?



Selling your home is an extremely important decision and one of the most important financial transactions most people will make.  While you want to maximize the amount of money you get for your Fredericksburg Texas home, you also want to know you are not taking unnecessary risks.  There are very good reasons that the number of “For Sale by Owner” transactions have been steadily dropping year to year.
