DRAWBACKS OF SELLING YOUR OWN PROPERTY

Although the thought of saving the sales commission is very appealing, selling your own property is a significant responsibility.  It requires a lot more than simply putting up a sign or running an ad.  Please consider the following factors before making that decision:

• Unknown qualifications of prospects who may be bargain hunters, perpetual shoppers or undesirables.
  
• Loss of thousands of potential ready, willing and able buyers due to inaccessibility to MLS & FMLS Multiple Listing Services or Realtor.com.

• Not available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• Absence of a highly personalized marketing effort.

• Unable to follow through with prospects without seeming eager or unattached.

• Lack of experience in writing and negotiating a legally binding contract.

• Lack of assistance for potential buyers in making offers, financing, drafting offers and closing the sale.

• Lack of assistance in helping with termite documents, home inspections, title and deed descriptions, tax information, recording of final grants and deeds, and all other documents needed for the sale and closing of your home.

• Your property is not available to qualified prospects working with realtors.

• No access to CMA appraisal software to help you determine the correct market value of your property, including past sales and current listings.
