FSBO: For Sale By Owner
I understand your desire to sell your home yourself.
I understand that you want to share your equity with as few
people as possible because you have things you'd like to do
with it. In fact, I think the first attempt at selling a
home should be by the owner, if you know what you're
doing and have time to deal with it yourself. It's more
difficult and can take longer, but it's not impossible. Not
only can I give you good advice and print you flyers, but I
can pre-qualify, and even pre-approve, potential buyers of
your home so that you know they are serious and fully capable
of actually making the purchase. This makes sure you're
spending time with the right people instead of wasting time on
the wrong people. They may be a perfectly nice couple
who want your home more than anything (and isn't that
gratifying?), but if they aren't ready to do something and/or
they can't qualify for your home price, they're blowing smoke
up your as... uh... chimney. In order to sell your
home, you need qualified buyers. Qualified means they
are ready, willing, and able to buy your home. You don't
want to have to accept an offer contingent on financing
because you run a higher risk of having your home basically
off the market while you're waiting on the financing.
Meanwhile, your qualified buyer may have already gotten the
impression that your home is sold. I have free information for you and I can
personally help. As I said above, I can create a bunch
of flyers for you to hand out, complete with helpful info.
If they have any financing questions they can call me.
You can list your home for free in my classifieds section as
well. I'm also happy to put your flyers out at my First
Time Home Buyers classes that I give for free around the
community. Call me and see if I have an available
CallCapture line you can use on your signs and flyers (gives
automated information about your home to potential buyers
without you having to deal with every single looky-loo and
also provides you with the phone number and available
information of every person who calls for the info, so you can
follow up with them if you're so inclined.
