Want to sell your home in the shortest period of time at the best possible price? Selling your home can be a challenge even for the most immaculate residence. Here are some pointers to speed up the process of selling your home.

Remove clutter

  • Family pictures.

Short Real Estate Sale Assistance

Selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially when it is worth less than you purchased it for.   If you can no longer afford your home and the fear of foreclosure looms, a short sale may be an option.

Why use a real estate agent? 

  • Reduced liability
  • A non-biased perspective on your home; value, location, etc.
  • Agents facilitate showings so that buyers can be more relaxed and open
  • An agent can help review buys/sells and weigh the outcomes, both good and bad.

Many Real Estate Agents do not sell their home FSBO because they do not feel that they can remove their emotions from the home.  Having another person facilitate the showings, provide disclosures, be on call, and remove some of the liability from you can be worth it.

If you are going to sell your home FSBO, do your homework and follow the attached link to educate yourself so you can close the deal! Good luck!

Tools For "For Sale By Owners"

Pricing Your Home

Visit the open houses of comparable homes. As many as possible! List what sets your home apart, both bad and good.  Be realistic.  If you test the waters first by listing at a higher price, then you may be hurting your home's ability to sell.

Contact a Realtor and request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from them.  Be upfront and let the agent know that you are trying to sell your home FSBO.  If your home doesn't get much activity as a FSBO , then you can consider forming a business relationship with the agent that assisted you, but get their credentials before you list your home. (If you get VERY little activity, then your home may be overpriced)

5 Star Listing Agent in Bozeman

The Way I Sell It.

Let's face it, Real Estate is not cheap. In most cases, it's the largest and most committing purchase a person will spend their hard-earned money on. This is why customer service is so important regardless of where your property is situated in the market. My areas of expertise are new construction, residential, and luxury real estate. But knowledge is power so they say, and I task myself with staying current on the ever-changing market and laws that affect real estate transactions. I won't be so bold as to claim that I'm not in real estate to make money, because I am. It's my livelihood, but it's not the most important thing, the quality of care and attention I give my clients is. I want to earn my…
