For Sale By Owner - Can I Do it Alone?
The short answer is yes - you can sell your home on your own. You can list it on a few sites, take photos on your own, and try to show it, but there is certainly more to FSBO than you may have thought. As the best real estate agent in Colorado Springs, I have been selling homes for over 25 years, and I am proud to say that through dedication and experience I can offer you something that can be nearly impossible to achieve on your own. If you're still considering "For Sale By Owner," here are a few things to keep in mind before embarking on the journey.
PRICE
Did you know that when you hire a real estate agent, statistics show that you get more money from a sale than going at it alone? Correctly pricing your property is critical. Price your home too low and you lose money; price it too high and buyers shy away. The MacGuire Team will give you a Competitive Market Analysis and discuss it in detail. Together we will decide on the best price for your property - because selling your home at the highest possible price is our goal.
MARKETING
Did you know that when you sell your home FSBO, you cannot get your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service)? This allows us the ability to put your home where THOUSANDS of buyers can look at your home. In this market, you NEED maximum exposure! Studies show that over 80% of home buyers start their home search on the internet. Having comprehensive exposure of your home to potential buyers is the key to selling your home quickly. Buyers find homes in many different venues and ensuring that you have the broadest range of market exposure is important. With the MacGuire Team, your home is marketed EVERYWHERE: SeeThatHome.com, Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Pikes Peak MLS, Oodle, Facebook, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Blogger, Gazette.com to name a few.
TIME
When you are selling your home on your own, you will be responsible for showing your home to any buyers that want to see it. Unfortunately, a buyers schedule could look very different than yours. Are you willing to take time off work to show your home? I make your home a priority, and I will work with the buyers to make sure they can see it. Not only that, but I will be dedicating time and energy to make sure that your home is given the best opportunity to not only sell, but sell at the highest price in the shortest time possible.
NEGOTIATION
When selling a home in Colorado Springs, there are many negotiations that need to be made. From a buyer's agent, escrow, and title companies. All of these individuals can be challenging to negotiate with, especially if you don't know all of the details, red tape, and even lingo. My team and I work hard to make sure that all negotiations are handled appropriately and with your best interest as the top priority.
LEGAL HELP
Finally, there are many details of real estate that require legal knowledge. Sometimes it can be simple basics, but other times it can involve easements, property lines, and even years and years of history on a home. If you don't know the legal parts of a home sale, you are taking the risk of being sued. We can help make the ins and outs of a home's sale simple and easy.
