If you've been thinking of selling your Whittier home, you might be wondering, in today's market, if it would be possible to sell the home yourself. After all, home buyer demand is up, mortgage interest rates are low, and sellers are in the driver's seat. What would you have to lose?
Potentially, thousands of dollars and a lot of time! While you may be able to sell your own home with the help of an attorney, homes listed "For Sale By Owner" do not have the advantages of brokered listings in the California real estate market. Here are a few reasons why!
1. Trust and accountability. Real estate professionals adhere to a code of ethics and a uniform standard of practices. Home buyers know they can turn to us for help with their home search and real estate questions. This provides a level of confidence they cannot receive by working directly with a FSBO seller.
2. The Multiple Listing Service. (MLS.) This database is available to home buyers worldwide through multiple websites. Homes listed in the MLS receive exposure unmatched by any FSBO network.
3. Transparency. Homes on the MLS have tracking for days spent on market and price reductions. Statistics such as list price to final sales price are also measured. There is a wealth of market information available to buyers and sellers alike.
4. Comparative market analysis and price guidance. Automated valuations that are available online are a starting point, but they do not consider home condition, amenities, and other localized factors that can affect home value. Your best chance of getting top dollar for your home, in the shortest amount of time, is by working with a real estate professional.
5. Qualified home buyers. We assist home buyers with referrals to mortgage professionals, home inspectors, contractors, and just about any resource they may need. We work with buyers to help them find the best homes in their price range. In short - we provide them with information, education and service. More than one-third of home buyers are first-time buyers!
To sum it up, there are many services we provide to home sellers as real estate professionals, far beyond coordinating appointments and performing marketing. Yet we do not get paid a dime unless your home sells. Naturally, we want to help you succeed! We also want to make sure buyers and sellers are given terrific service, because we want you to refer your friends and family to us!
