Thread: Sell your home by yourself

I would like to share something with the readers that,when you decide to put up a price for your home,you should also consider the fact that you have to hire an agent or a broker to do the job for you.Like,I sold my house with the help of a broker,and I had to pay 1-2% of the amount agreed as his fee.I was so much tensed at that moment as I had to buy another home from the same money.Well,I went through the process.But,my point is,I didn’t really get what i wanted.I didn’t get the price of my liking,because I had to pay to that damn agent.Now,after I went through all that process,I learned something.
Recently,I went out with a friend of mind,and he told me that he sold his home without paying any fee to the broker.I asked If he was a relative of his or something.But no,he said he didn’t even hire an agent.I thought he might have sold it to a relative of his or some friend of his.But yet another NO i got from him.
He told me that he sold his home through an online website.Some FSBO websites they are called i guess.I didn’t believe him,because I never trust any business done over the internet.But since he showed me the website,and the agreement copy and all,I finally decided to trust him.
I think that in order to save your money,and to set the right price for your liking you should first be relaxed by keeping this thing in your mind that you don’t have to pay anything to a broker.
I have searched these websites on Google,the top sites were:
gofizzbo.com, forsalebyowner.com, isoldmyhome.com, fsbo.com etc.
Now I don’t mean any offense to the brokers,Its just that you can save your money in this way.That’s my opinion.Just for a flat rate fee and without paying any commission you can sell your home.This seems a big deal to me.
Still,the easiest way is to set up a "FOR SALE" sign in front of your home.
Hope this info helps you.
Regards

Dear,
I am totally agree with you.Selling your home by your own self saves allot of your Money, Time and Energy.

Yes, it is possible to sell your home by yourself, you don't require to hire any real estate agent. You should advertise your property or home, it is best way to sell your home fast. Put your home details and interesting photos in newspaper, and you can also advertise it online. Tell your relatives and family members they can be a good source of potential buyers.

i agree selling your house by yourself it can save money and of course all the profit will go to you, you can always post it on the internet you can find free advertisement website or your local newspaper ad so you can sell your house fast.

I've sold two homes through an agent, and one by myself. In that case, all we needed was a lawyer and it worked out fine. I think it's case-by-case thing. So many people are trying to do everything DIY these days, because of the dire economy. It's not always the way to go.

You can save money when you sell your own home by yourself, not paying for a high commission, but it would be more efficient if you would hire someone who knows better in terms of selling your property. That is what realtor agents do. It is just how you choose your agent that will help you benefit or not from them.

Now, It is much easier to sell your Home by yourself without any involvement of agent with his high Commission.

Yeah but it is not just a formal kind of education. At least a basic knowledge and update of the recent changes on your market will do.

I think brokers are completely unnecessary when selling a home as long as you know what you're doing. Just make sure you have a good lawyer!
