Maybe

The real answer is maybe, but at what cost? We are not here to scare you, however there are many things to take into consideration when selling a property.

Here are just a few.

What Federal forms are required?

What State forms are required?

Are there "standard" forms that I can use or do I need specific type forms?

Do I have an advertising strategy in place?

How much will I spend on marketing the property?

What is the true market value of my property, if listed?

What is the true market value of my property, by owner?

Does how I advertise make me legally responsible for ethics violations?

How can I advertise without crossing any lines?

What questions should I ask a buyer to see if they can afford my property?

Will they tell me the truth?

How do I know who is walking through my property with me?

What is the best way to negotiate without losing money out of our side?

Once we have an offer, now what?

Do I need to have an inspection done?

At who's expense?

How about an appraisal?

Who pays for title work & closing costs?

What other costs will I have to pay?

Should you choose to proceed to sell by yourself, we understand. Please be safe and well educated in the process. We also suggest that you, at least, hire a

REAL ESTATE Attorney.

The national numbers over the past 14 years have not changed much. Nationally, homes sold by agents sold for 11-15% more than by owner homes. 90% of all by owner properties did not sell. Of the 10% that did sell, 90% of those owners would have netted more if they would have sold through an agent. These are actual statistics provided through the National Association of Realtors, each year, for the past 15 +/- years.

If you are interested in getting your property SOLD, and are willing to sit down with us and talk, maybe we can come up with a plan of action that can provide the results that we all are looking for. Please give us a call today to set an appointment with one of our professionals.
