1.
LESS HASSLE &
FRUSTRATION:
When selling by
owner, you don’t have to leave the house because an agent wants to show it,
or leave it in tip-top condition every morning before leaving "just in
case". You know when people are coming and can prepare accordingly. You are
in control of your life! You instantly know if a buyer has any interest,
instead of wondering & losing sleep because your agent isn’t communicating
with you.
2.
YOU KNOW YOUR HOME BETTER
THAN ANYONE:
You know your
home best. The construction, utility costs, the schools, the neighborhood,
what is special about the area and the house, as well as other details about
the property. We get the word out for you - and you do the rest simply by
having the house ready to show, and by having the information available to
answer the buyer’s questions.
3.
YOU’RE IN CONTROL:
Our customers
tell us that this is one of the biggest benefits of selling through us.
Nobody is going to tell you what to do! You can advertise where and how you
want to, schedule showings when it’s convenient for you, talk directly with
prospective buyers yourself, even take your house off the market for a while
if you can’t find the right "next" house. You make your own rules! And we
are here to help & advise you throughout the process!
4.
MORE MONEY IN YOUR
POCKET:
You can’t argue
this benefit!!! Calculate 5-6% of what you think your property is worth, then
ask yourself: Is it worth paying this much to have someone else show my
property, act as a go-between to negotiate the sale and coordinate closing
schedules with the lender and lawyer? It doesn’t matter your financial
situation - who wouldn’t want that money in their pocket instead of the
pocket of an agent??!!
5.
YOU CAN SELL FASTER:
A house is worth
market value regardless of whether a real estate agent is involved or not.
For example, a home that is worth $200,000 that is offered "by owner" is
still worth $200,000 if it is offered by an agent. The difference is that a
"by owner" seller has an additional 6% negotiation room. For example: If a homeowner
sells their $200,000 home "by owner" for $195,000, they have made more money than if they
sold the home for $200,000 through an agent and had to pay $12,000 in commission. AND, the
buyer has saved $5,000... instant equity!
Rather than
inflate your asking price to cover the cost of the commission (resulting in
"hanging around" on the market until you come to the
realization that no one is going to buy your home at that price) do it right
the first time! Sell "by owner", and you and the buyers will both save!!
6.
YOU'LL LOOK SOOOOOO PROFESSIONAL!
We provide you
with all the necessary tools to get the job done. No red & white hardware
store signs with magic marker numbers! No hand made flyers! We help you give
the buyer the right impression - that you are a confident seller who knows
what you're doing!! We’re here for you every step of the way to make an easy
job even easier!!! We walk you through the entire process - from basic
questions to help negotiating to help with the contract.
7.
TRULY INTERESTED BUYERS
WILL LOOK AT YOUR HOME:
You can be sure
that buyers are truly interested in your property whey they visit because
they have personally made the effort to be there...they haven’t been dragged
there by an agent who doesn’t seem to understand what the seller is looking
for!
And buyers like
to know you’re working with For Sale By Owner Connection /
CutTheCommission.com - they know they
can call us with questions, and they feel comfortable knowing that you have
us here to help both the buyer & the seller through the process.
8.
YOU HAVE GREAT ACCESS TO
"RELOCATION" BUYERS:
Our Internet site
allows buyers anywhere in the world, easy access to information about your
home. Your listing on Realtor.com (the most active real estate website in the
world) will have YOUR phone number in it so buyers without agents can call
you directly. You can’t beat the coverage!
Agents working
with relocation buyers will show your home as well. If this buyer purchases
your home there will be a 3% commission, but without the agent you never
would have heard from this buyer. Well worth 3%.
9.
YOU’LL BE IN THE KNOW:
Because you meet
all of the prospective buyers, you have a much better idea how interested
the they are, what they like or dislike about the home, and what their
personal situation/timeframe is. The direct feedback will help you sell your
home faster, and give you peace of mind as you go through the process.
