Selling your home

Sellers have a common desire to make the most money possible on the sale of their homes. How is this accomplished? There are sellers that believe selling their house "by owner" will save the money that would have been paid in commission on the listing side of the transaction. Please take note of this insider real estate agent information. Even if you have a sign in your yard that says, "Agents Welcome", it will be far more effort for an agent to have clients buy your home than a home that is listed with another agent. While many sellers will pay 3% to the agent that brings a qualified buyer, the agent knows that it will likely be twice the work. Not only will the agent have to educate the buyers on the standard procedures of purchasing a home, he/she will also have to help the seller understand the legalities of the contract negotiation, findings in the inspection report and closing of the transaction. Real estate agents know that there is a base of knowledge that all licensed real estate agents acquire along with passing the state exam. They know that the agent has given the seller realistic comparable sales in the neighborhood.

Listing a home is a full time job! How will you get feedback from showings of your home? While buyers' agents are comfortable speaking freely to your listing agent, many are not comfortable giving negative feedback to you directly. Are you aware of the customary fees for which you are responsible at the closing table? Do you know how to get an accurate pay-off of your current mortgage? Would you like to go inside surrounding listings to compare and assess what you may expect from the sale of your home? Are you aware that your home is only "On the Market" when you are home?
