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 homes 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. Obtain their credentials before you list your home. (If you get VERY little activity, then your home may be overpriced.)

1. Less Exposure to Prospective Buyers 
While we may all agree that the majority buyers will scour the internet to find their next home, it does not equate that if you throw your property on Zillow.com or Realtor.com it will sell. Real Estate Agents have advertising dollars to spend on numerous marketing platforms that will syndicate your property to hundreds of more websites. More than that, they have the network and buyers ready to put an offer in.

We like this client quote for many reasons. But this past client is not the first client to have a similar thought process considering to For Sale By Owner her property. We are SO GLAD we were able to list her property and could deliver the following results.

- We closed on the property in 45 DAYS.
- This allowed the seller to focus on packing and moving her family's belongings. 
- By allowing us to handle her sale, this allowed the seller to have more time and energy to look at replacement properties. 
- We handled both the sale of this client's home and helped ensure there was a tandem sale for a seamless process.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY 
While many agents will say they will take "great" photos of your property, what does that actually mean?  

- Are they using a professional high end camera lense or their iPhone7?
- Are they hiring a professional photographer who understands lighting and angles? 
- Have you seen photos of their other listings? What is the quality like? 

BAD PHOTOS - CAUSE & EFFECT: Your first impression of a home are in fact the PHOTOS. When we see dark photos, blurry images, a glare on every other photo, that doesn't excite a buyer nor an Agent to request a showing. We shop with our eyes. Could the handful of blurry, dark photos be the reason why your property has not received an offer or a good offer for that matter?
