There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. |
|||||||||||||||||||
![]() | ||
Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare to others like it in Londonderry?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?"
"What about financing? Can you help?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a Realtor? Is there something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a Realtor, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value?
Almost all homes are sold using a Realtor. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Londonderry and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly.
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one."
If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and we'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth. We'll also describe, as experienced, top Londonderry Area Realtors, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and one of us will quickly get back to you...
Making An Offer >Buying Fast
Many buyers who find a house that looks perfect after house-hunting for only a couple of weekends hesitate to make an immediate commitment. They want to buy the house but are reluctant to make an offer without having looked at more properties.
Whether you are in a buyer's or seller's market, the best homes usually get snapped up quickly. When you find a great home that is well-priced, you may not have much time to think it over. Although it is difficult to make such an enormous purchasing decision without at least "sleeping on it," you could lose the house to another buyer if you hesitate. On the other hand, if you go rushing forward, you may spend some time nursing a case of "Buyer's Remorse."
Working with a professional real estate agent can make your decision much easier. Your agent can provide information about recent sales of homes in the area and answer any questions you may have. Keep in mind that a real estate agent's job is to find you a property that you want to buy, not to show you a lot of houses that won't interest you!
