For Sale By Owner!
F.S.B.O. (For Sale By Owner)
Top Ten (10) Differences when comparing your efforts to
the Experience, Past Success and Efforts of selling your Home through Realty Professionals, Inc.
1) WE CAN SELL YOUR HOUSE FOR MORE MONEY.
According to the 2014 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the
typical FSBO home sold for $113,000, compared to $129,900 for a salesperson-assisted home. This
means that even if you pay Realty Professionals a full 7-percent commission, you'll realize $120,807.
2) WE USE MORE THAN 25 REAL ESTATE WEB SITES TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF YOUR HOME.
Subscribing to these large sites allows me to add up to 25 photos, drawing, maps and loads of
text to find and fully inform the buyer of your home. These sites work 24/7 to inform any buyer at
any time of day!
3) WE DO THIS FULLTIME!
Each agent spends approximately 100-300 hours on each home listed and sold. That is the amount
of time you will have to Invest from your free time to sell your home yourself.
4) WE UNDERSTAND HOW TO COMPLETE THE MANY CONTRACTS, FORMS
AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS REQUIRED IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.
According to the 2014 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers,
"difficulty with paperwork" was the second biggest problem FSBO's had in selling their own homes.
5) WE CAN QUALIFY AND HELP ASSESS THE BUYER’S ABILITY TO AFFORD THE PROPERTY
AND HELP THEM LOCATE THE BEST PLACES TO OBTAIN FINANCING.
Often buyers, especially inexperienced ones, rely on the Real Estate sales person to help them
obtain a mortgage. We have experience in helping Buyers locate a lender and select between fixed,
adjustable, or balloon mortgages. We are also experienced in pre-qualifying Buyers so that they will
not make an offer on a home they cannot afford.
6) WE HAVE THE MARKET KNOWLEDGE TO PRICE THE HOME COMPETITIVELY.
According to the 2014 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, "setting
the right price" was the biggest problem FSBO's had in selling their own homes. You may know what
one or two homes near you have sold for, but we have access to a wider number of comps and the
market knowledge to apply the kind of pricing that will attract many Buyers from day "1".
7) WE CAN BE OBJECTIVE, HANDLE CRITICISM OF THE HOUSE AND FOCUS ON HOW WELL
THE HOME SUITS A BUYER.
All owners have emotional attachments to their homes and will emphasize the features they
consider most desirable during a showing. However as a trained professional, we are more attuned
to the Buyers’ needs and able to highlight the home’s features that have the most appeal to each
Buyer.
8) WE KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE AND OVERCOME OBJECTIONS.
Balancing offers and counteroffers, as well as handling many of the contingencies that usually
accompany real estate transactions can be frustrating and/or frightening. We typically sell a home
for at least 95.5 % of the "original" asking price.
9) WE CAN GET THE TRANSACTION CLOSED.
Once the Purchase Agreement is signed, the work has just begun. Home Inspections, termite
inspection, title insurance, and building permits for improvements are just a few of the tasks that
need to be addressed before closing. Professional help makes all of these tasks go more smoothly.
10) WE HAVE THE EDUCATION AND THE EXPERIENCE TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.
After 33+ years and more than 20,000 homes SOLD we know the do’s and don’t of what it takes to
prepare, market and sell a Home. We also know the process of analyzing a home to determine it’s
worth, benefit and cost to you. We can also determine the value of an offer to calculate if it is
perhaps the Best one for you to accept!
We would be honored with your trust and greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve your Real Estate needs. Our goals for your home are always to sell at the highest amount possible, in the shortest period of time and with the fewest inconveniences to you, the customer. Put your home on our list and we will insure results!
