For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Part # 3

How can I help you as a For Sale by Owner sell your home?  Here are just a few ways.


1.  Experience:  I have listed and sold almost 500 homes in the West Valley.  Many of them were for sale by owner or expired listing homes. Very few have been the homes that I have not sold (ya, even the best Realtors do not sell everything.)  Besides that, I have had many different circumstances arise and have worked through them.  How much easier will the sale of your home be with an experienced agent.


2.  Knowledge:  I will know the value of your home based on my research of market data Market data 150x150 and will be able to negotiate on your behalf with those facts in mind.  I know the general “feel” of the market as well.  I have a lot of Realtor friends and I keep “up” on what is going on out there.


3.  Know how:  I will meet with you and will walk through your home and give you straight forward advice as to what needs to be done to sell your home.  This part may hurt a bit but remember so does surgery to remove a tumor.  Some things I will mention here I almost guarantee you would have never thought of.  If you are willing to hear me out you probably also need to start packing.


4.  Focus:  Keep your goal in mind (bigger home, smaller home, new neighborhood etc.)  Many obstacles may need to be overcome.  I am sure I have not dealt with all of them but I know I have dealt with many of them time and time again, we will get through it all.


5.  Marketing:  I have an extensive Internet  marketing campaign that I will use to market your home.  I do not use just one avenue (Craigslist) (Facebook) to market your home.  I use many.   Plus I have access to an office of hundreds of agents (many of whom have buyers) that will hear about your home.


6.  Passion:  If I did not enjoy what I do I would do something else.  I am “Passionate about your move.”  It is what I do, its what makes me tick, it drives me and I try to do it well.  It is nothing for me to be working at 10 at night, I am just crazy like that.


NAR statistics show that only 9% of Real Estate Sales in 2012 were made by For Sale by Owners.  80% of For Sale by owners will eventually list with an agent.  In 2012 the average FSBO home sold for $174,900, while the average home sold with an agent sold for $215,000.  Ready to talk?  623-853-6644
