| Why sell a property yourself?
TO KEEP YOUR MONEY!
And you can look at this from three angles...
First off, why pay others to do something that you can do yourself, in the
first place? When was it last that you actually rewarded yourself for doing
something? The money you save by selling the house yourself is an invaluable
financial resource that you can use to pay some debts, perhaps invest in a
new property, supplement your retirement plan, take care of your health,
help your kids with their college. Or, you can reward yourself with a much
deserved and long overdue vacation or, you could buy and enjoy, one or more
of a thousand other things that you always wanted, but there was NEVER enough
money. Now, you have the opportunity to change that. Basically, this is what
the for-sale-by-owner is all about.
Secondly, look at things this way: does a realtor really know more about your
house than you do? Why could he/she sell it better, or faster than you could?
After all, you have been living there and know all about it! It is you,
the owner(s), that the buyer/s would love to talk to, anyway. You are the best
seller for your house!
Lastly, and without getting into any rocket-science math, let us put a new
perspective on all this. Selling your property yourself is the equivalent of
working for yourself for around $200/hour. (Well, if we are a bit off here,
would it make you feel any worse if you're working for, say, $175.36/hr?) Yes,
the pay rate does depend of both the value of your home and your effort. And
yes, again, don't kid yourselves; this process does require you to commit to
a certain amount of time and effort; an effort that in the end pays you well.
Very well!
About the
FSBO process
(pronounced FIZZ-boh)
Selling a property by owner
does not, in any way, change any given real estate market conditions.
The by owner practice only transfers the buying/selling process, and
its consequential earning(s), from a realtor to the home owner him/herself.
So, just as where realtors are involved, and of course due to a number of
market forces, here too you will deal with properties that sell within a few
days from listing (see the ad stats on our listings), and also with those
that take longer to sell. And, when yours does, give yourself ALL the credit
- and keep ALL YOUR MONEY too! |

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This is called a pointer, or reference ad
because it appears on all highly targeted listing pages and points to a
full page ad. The ad includes one feature photo and a property description
of up to 200 words. The actual full page
ad (see
sample), which includes detailed information about the property,
larger photos and complete contact info, collects the combined viewers
from all its pointer ads. Pointer ads are included in all ad packages
and are also published in other highly visible, online listing services,
at no additional cost to you.

Why List with Private-Listings.com?
In order to find buyers, the most
important thing that you need to take care of when you put your house up for
sale, is to create a good market exposure for it; good advertising, that is.

OK, but exactly, what benefits do I have when I list my property on Private-Listings.com?

How do you sell a property "By-Owner" ? Learn How To FSBO
Selling your property yourself is a unique
experience. Yet, no matter how you look at it, there are really only a handful of items
that one should cover. Here are the basic steps that you need to take in order to sell
your property without paying a realtor's commission.
- Commit to the idea. Why is this so important?
- Prepare your home to sell. Make it look Great!
- Get the legal real estate forms for your location. Learn where.
- Find a lawyer/notary public. He/she can help you in more that one way.
- Advertise your property online. 79% of home buyers look there first.
- Negotiate. Close. SOLD! Congratulations!
How much money can you save?
Well, that depends of the value of
your house, of course. Chances are that by selling the house yourself you will
have an extra $8,000, $10,000, $12,000 or $30,000 - all yours! And here's why...
In the real world, and depending of where you are located, when you sell your
property through a realtor, you are faced with one of the two possible scenarios:
-
you either pay him/her a
6% (sometimes even 7%) service fee for the entire value of your property,
(3 percent goes to the listing agent and 3 percent to
the agent representing the buyer), or
-
you pay the 5.5% to 6% fee
for the first $100,000 of the value of your home, plus a 2%-3% fee on the rest
of its value. In addition, you pay the taxes for these services...
For the sake of the argument, however,
let's do this exercise by keepings things simple and consider that, regardless of
where you are located, you only pay the realtor a flat 3.5% fee for the entire
property value.
Right now, this money
is already yours! Make sure that it stays that way. And,
remember, this is a conservative estimate used here for illustration
purposes only. The exact amount of money that you get to keep by
selling your house yourself, is substantially larger. You know where
you live; you know exactly what fees (%'s) realtors charge in your area.

Editor's Note
Selling real estate is not as much about the complexity of the process as it
is about creating the type of market exposure that will secure your asking
price (at least). Add to that the commission fees that you save... |
