Are You Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself

This page is designed to give you some information to consider when planning to sell your home without professional assistance.

Here are some reasons why you may desire to sell your home yourself...

1.You may have had a negative experience dealing with a prior agent in a previous transaction

2.The true value of the services that an agent provides to you has never been explained in  terms that make financial sense.

3. You want to save money and not having to pay a marketing fee/commission

4. You think you will have more flexibility in negotiating terms

5. You think “I am smart enough to sell my own house!”

Now lets break these reasons down.

1.  All REALTORS are NOT created equal.  If you get a bad car, do you stop driving?   Everyone gets a bad deal at least once in their lifetime, and this can be especially devastating if that bad deal happens when undertaking such a critical endeavor as selling your home.  But if we all gave up on every profession every time we hit a bad representative, then we'd be back to wearing yak hide and trading shells for sticks.  Selling your home is one of the most important and difficult tasks you'll ever undertake.  Think carefully before you shut out the professional REALTORS available to you, and the invaluable services that they provide. 

2.  The belief that you will NET more money by not having to pay a commission is a hard one to understand.  Let me start by saying that the type of buyers that look for For Sale By Owner (FSBO) homes are bargain hunters.  They are savvy and know that they can reduce the price of your home by the cost of the commission, therefore they offer far less for your home then you are asking.  ALSO, you have to negotiate your price and terms for yourself.  A REALTOR is not only trained to negotiate, but is an outsider that can negotiate objectively and without emotion.  Most buyer's are moving into town and need a place to live.  The FSBO has no marketing tools to tap into this pool of buyers.  An agent, however, has the tools to market your home to these most valuable buyers (ones that need to buy now).  By reducing your pool of buyers to the bargain hunters, the odds of getting full price for your home are small. 

3.  You think you will be tied down to one REALTOR. REALTORS have ready, willing and able buyers.  A REALTOR that has a buyer that is interested in your home, a home that does not pay a commission, will require the buyer to pay his/her commission.  Do you think the buyer will be willing to pay full price for your home, pay the commission to his agent, and purchase your home?  Would you?  Not likely, especially when there are a variety of homes on the market whose owners are already working with agents and assuming responsibility for their commissions.

4.  Does your ego tell you that you can do as good a job as a professional Real Estate agent?  That may be true.  However, consider it this way:  Would you pull your own teeth, or would you see a professional Dentist?  Would you represent yourself in court, or would you hire a professional Attorney?  Would you perform surgery on yourself, or would you seek out a professional Surgeon?  In other words, a Professional is just that; a Professional.  REALTORS are professionals who work for you to sell your home.  There are many aspects to selling a home in Alabama, Marketing, Mortgages, Lawyers, and many other tasks that a REALTOR agent takes care of.

A Note On Commissions:  Like most other professionals, Real Estate agents don't get paid until the job is done.  Unlike other professionals, our job takes from 30 days to several months to complete.  In the meantime, we provide not only the quality time and dedication that you deserve, but also a wide range of marketing and advertising tools designed to effect the best possible home selling experience; tools which you, the self-seller do not generally have access to.   And all of this comes out of our own pockets, because we don't get paid until your house is sold.  So, whether you call it a Commission or a Marketing Fee, it is a price well paid.

5.  Can you sell your home yourself?  Yes you can.  If you are diligent and can dedicate the time, labor and resources that will be required for the task, you most certainly can sell your home yourself.  If you try to FSBO your home and you still would like my help then please give me a call. I will sit down with you and go over my services if you would like to formally list your home or property.
