You`ve decided to take advantage of thisΒ hot seller’s market.
Β
You should be able toΒ Β sell your home without an agent right? What areΒ the steps to selling a home on your own? That’sΒ Β what we’re talking about today.
Β
I talk all about the Ramsey, MN areaΒ and give you some real estate tips along the way.Β Β Today we’re talking about the steps of sellingΒ your home without hiring a real estate agent.Β
Β
Even in this crazy seller’s market, there is moreΒ to selling your home than sticking a βfor sale’Β Β sign in your yard and waiting for the phone toΒ ring. There are a number of items to consider andΒ Β prepare for before you can sell your home.
Β
1. Prepare your home for the market.Β Β
Β
Make sure that your home is show-ready before youΒ βgo live. For more tips on preparing your homeΒ Β to ensure a fast sale for more money email me at vanmillrealestate@gmail.com
Β
2.Set a realistic price.
Β
PricingΒ your home right is very important.Β Β Setting the price too high and you riskΒ the home sitting on the market for a while,Β Β setting the price too low and you may leaveΒ money on the table. You can rely on the differentΒ Β automated pricing systems online (like ZillowΒ or Redfin) or you can pay to have an appraisalΒ Β done before you list. The choice is yours.
Β
3. Decide whether you will pay a buyer’s agent.Β Β
Β
Even if you decide to list on your own withoutΒ hiring a listing agent, you can still pay aΒ Β buyer’s agent and save a good chunk of money. ManyΒ people selling on their own appreciate having anΒ Β agent there to take care of the paperworkΒ and help to facilitate the escrow process.Β Β If you decide that working with agents isn’tΒ an option, make sure to communicate that outΒ Β of the gate with potential buyers.
Β
4. Hire a photographer.
Β
Taking photosΒ Β with your iPhone may not present your homeΒ in the best light. Photos are very important.Β Β The goal is to get people in to see the homeΒ in person and imagine themselves living there.Β Photos with poor lighting or editingΒ can prohibit that from happening.Β
Β
Β
5. Market your home.
Β
Paying a fee to advertiseΒ on the Multiple Listings Service may be wellΒ Β worth the money to ensure the most eyes see yourΒ home online. But if that’s not an option for you,Β Β then Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook,Β and newspaper ads are all options.
Β
Β 6. Be flexible with showings.
Β
Making sure thatΒ your home is available for prospective buyersΒ Β to view is very important. As a seller withoutΒ an agent, you must be there for your showingsΒ Β (unless you decide to work withΒ buyer’s agents). You can also holdΒ Β open houses on the weekends to pack multipleΒ showings in if that works for your schedule.
Β
Β 7. Review offers and confirm proof of loansΒ or funds.
Β
Decide how you will review offers.Β Β Will you review them one at a time or will youΒ have a deadline for offers if it looks likeΒ Β multiple offers may come in? Make sure thatΒ you ask to see a pre-approval for buyers whoΒ Β will be getting a loan or proof of funds forΒ cash buyers.
Doing your due diligence at theΒ Β beginning can help things go smoothly later.
Β
8. Negotiate and accept an offer.
Β
It’s okay notΒ Β to accept the first offer that comes in. IfΒ the terms don’t fit what you’re looking for,Β Β make sure to ask for what you need.
Β The worst they can say is no.Β
Β
9. Handle contract paperwork and disclosures.
Β
IfΒ you aren’t working with buyer’s agents, make sureΒ Β to either consult with a Real Estate AttorneyΒ or do your research on the required documents.Β Β When it doubt, disclose, disclose, disclose.
Β
Β Things can get ugly even after the sale isΒ Β done if anything is hidden during the deal. I hope you found this information helpful.
