Even if a simple sign in your yard
did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will
you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare
to others like it in Jacksonville?"
"How did you determine the
fair market value of this property?"
"What about financing? Can
you help?"
"If I make an offer, who
will draw up the paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a
REALTOR®? Is there something wrong with the
property?"
"Since you aren't using a
REALTOR®, we can take their fee right off the top,
right?"
Selling your home is one of the
most important financial transactions you will make
in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is
nothing like selling a car. Every home is different,
and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as
possible. How do you determine the real market
value?
Almost all homes are sold using a
REALTOR®. As a top real estate professional, it is my
job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who
want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing
your home for sale, marketing it locally in
Jacksonville and even
nationally, and guiding you through the complex
paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make
sure you are really ready to handle all of that
before pounding that sign into your front yard.
Errors can be extremely costly.
Remember: Buyers want to offer
you as close to nothing as possible! While that
"For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like
a good idea, it usually means a different thing to
buyers: "Try to steal this one."
If you must sell your own home,
at least let me give you a sense of its true market
value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a
quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know
what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an
experienced Jacksonville REALTOR®, how I would market your
property. This is free, with no strings attached. Call or e-mail
me. There
is absolutely no obligation so don't let this
opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a
professional real estate agent to offer you this
service.
Tell me a bit about your house and I'll get back to you
quickly.
