Even if a simple "For Sale" sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions?...
"How does your home compare to others like it in the Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County and Hollywood area?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?"
"How about financing? Can you help?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the contract and handle all of 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 what their fee would be, right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your lifetime. Don't take risks. Selling a car by yourself is one thing. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value?
Almost all homes are sold using a REALTORŪ. As 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 home for sale, marketing it locally in the Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County and Hollywood, Florida area and nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and potential pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are truly ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly.
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as little as possible! That is human nature. While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea to you, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "We're a "Do It Yourself Homeowner" - Get a Bargain."
If you still feel you must sell your own home, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County and Hollywood REALTORŪ, how I would market your property. You can't go wrong with this free, no obligation offer!
