London For Sale By Owner- BUYERS

Need assistance in making an informed decision on whether the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) route is for you?
Find out why Caveat Emptor- buyer beware- applies with some FSBO homes.
There are some very good FSBO deals out there. However, there are homes for sale by owner that are greatly overpriced, some by $10-30,000 and more! But, there are also lots of real estate listings on MLS that are over-priced!
Are you able to determine if a For Sale By Owner(FSBO) home is at fair market value, modestly over-priced, or vastly over-priced?
A Buyer's agent can help negotiate a fair price, protect your interests, and remove emotion from the equation with a professional market analysis of the home you wish to purchase.
The best part is that a Buyer's agent does not cost the buyer any money!
What about a home inspection, selecting a lawyer, insurance, financing and aiding you from the start? Do not become an author of another horror story!

If you are trying to sell your home today with or without a real estate agent... you could lose thousands of dollars, and take an enormous amount of time if you don't know what you are doing. Every day we see home sellers lose money, and waste precious time because they make critical mistakes they didn't have to make.  Here are just a few...
> Not getting accurate information about how to price your home correctly.
> Not getting a "total picture" of the entire market before you start to sell your home.
> Selling your home in 2008 using the outdated marketing techniques and methods from the 1980's and 1990's.
> Trying to add costs of home improvements on top of your sale price.
> Not understanding how to "dress" your home, so it shows like a model home, and commands top dollar.
> Using worn-out, ineffective "image" advertising to promote your home.
> Opening yourself up to crime by not tracking visitors to your home.
> Hiring a real estate agent who tries to sell their "multi-million dollar producer" pitch instead of demonstrating skill and proficiency in marketing homes.
> Letting a real estate representative seduce you into their services by promising you an over-inflated sales price.
> Hiring anyone who isn't willing to educate you on a systemized approach to selling your home...AND can back up their analysis with FACTS,not opinions!  To enhance your buying and selling experience, it’s our duty and responsibility as real estate professionals to provide you with as much valuable information as possible. It is essential that the buyer or seller be aware of all aspects of the real estate market before making a major decision. Whether it be through newsletters, checklists or news articles, we are here to make this process stress-free and rewarding.

A Happy For Sale By Owner

Dear Ty:
Cathy and I just wanted to take some time and thank you for everything you have done for us.
I always thought buying a house would be the most stressful thing anyone could do. I now know that indeed selling is by far the most stressful!
As you know, we did try to sell on our own, when this failed we tried another real estate agent and had a bad experience. Due to this experience we were very unsure about the whole thing and we were very disheartened as we were so looking forward to our future plans.
Ty, from the second we first met, Cathy and I were blown away with your experience and professionalism, your reputation truly speaks for itself. You sold our house for exactly what we wanted and to top it off you did it in eight and a half hours. "Amazing".
Yours truly,
Jason and Cathy Bear |

Buyers not finding you? If you are selling FSBO, there are some questions you might consider.
> Do the For Sale By Owner sites that you visit post their success rates- the number of
sales-to- active listings ratio? If not, will they if you ask?
> Do the For Sale By Owner sites that you visit use deceptive marketing tactics to secure your home listing? A 2007 study of the homes that were marked "Sold" in a popular Canadian FSBO publication, revealed that many of the homes were not sold by owner! They were sold on Canada's MLS service by a Realtor!
> With so many For Sale By Owner websites on the Net and many more cropping up daily, consider the monumental task that buyers face trying to find you!
>Why do 94% or more of FSBOS eventually list their homes on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? One reason why is that the MLS marketing system is unparalleled for putting buyers and sellers together.
> Most buyers use Realtors, so marketing to real estate agents is essential. Do you have a marketing plan in place for both Realtors and Buyers?
> We thoroughly understand if you are trying to save on sales commissions, or in the past you have had a poor experience or have a mistrust of real estate sales representatives, but why would you leave thousands of dollars on the table and expose you and your family to a myriad of financial and legal responsibilities? You've heard the line "Only a fool represents their selves"! |
