Even if a simple ad in your newspaper did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare to others like it on Perdido Key?"
"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 REALTORŪ? Is there something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a REALTORŪ, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your property is one of the most important financial transactions you will make. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every real estate deal is different, and every buyer or investor wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value?
Almost all condos and properties on Perdido Key are sold using a REALTORŪ. As a unique market and enviroment you need a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your property for sale, marketing it locally in the Perdido Key area, regionally 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 placing that ad or trying to sell by yourself. Errors can be extremely costly, don't go it alone.
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."
