Real Estate For Sale By Owner - A Guide To Selling Your Own Home

How To Sell Your Own Home And Save Thousands In Commissions!

By Noel Peebles

Have you ever considered advertising your home "For Sale By Owner"? The fact is; more and more homeowners are selling their own homes…and for two very good reasons:

1. To save paying outrageous real estate commissions.

Let's face it, when your home sells, the real estate commission takes a sizable chunk of money out of your sale price.

A commission of around 6% could stop you from making a larger down-payment on your next house. And, it could make a sizable difference to your monthly mortgage payments. It could even be the difference between, being able to afford to move, or staying put.

So, it is not surprising that most people resent paying real estate commissions. Because, it is difficult to see what you are getting for your money.

2. Most people want more control over their house sale.

Unfortunately, the level of service varies greatly between real estate agents. Most people will be able to tell you a story to prove this. You may have even had your own bad experience with a real estate agent. With this in mind…

Why do real estate agents successfully sign up new listings?

The simple answer is - because most buyers don't like to deal with the owners. Again, there are two important reasons:

1. Most "For Sale By Owner" houses are overpriced! Unfortunately, few homeowners understand how the market works, or how to accurately price their home. They lack the knowledge and "know-how."

2. Most "For Sale By Owner" houses are marketed in an unprofessional and amateurish way. Again, it is this lack of knowledge and "know-how" that lets the homeowner down.

However, with the "right" information, selling your own home can be well worth the effort. You can save yourself a pile of cash (thousands!) and have the satisfaction of a job well done!
