How do you sell a house by owner?

Answer 1

go to the For Sale By Owner, site....if you want all the correct information.....

Answer 2

Go to your local title company and hook up with someone there. They should have some papers there that will help you on the way.
You can advertise in a local newspaper but be prepared for all the phone calls you will get from real estate companies. I would say you may get about 1 phone call out of 100 calls from an actual buyer.
There are a lot of mortgage companies out there that will summit it thru the mls for you. But you need to be prepared to pay a buyers agent a percentage.
Also you will need someone to protect you from that buyers agent. They have a funny way of puting things in the contract that could cost you a lot of money.
Best of Luck in your home sale.

Answer 3

If you sell in a paper, about 9 out of 10 calls will be from realtors. They call you up "pretending" to be buyers and asking all sorts of questions about your house, THEN after 10 minutes of talking they will tell you they want to list your house for you because it will sell "better" with them. So be prepared that as soon as someone calls asking about your house, you instantly ask them if they are a buyer or a realtor so you dont waste time.

Answer 4

There are some excellent books available at your local book store that are specific to For Sale By Owner's.

There are also websites where you can post your listings for a fee such as http://www.ForSaleByOwner.com or sites such as http://www.Craigslist.com where you can load text & photo's at no cost.

You may also want to consult with an attorney who specilaizes in real estate or work with a real estate broker on a consultant basis. There will be an hourly fee.

In most cases FSBO's are all about saving money.

The services of a full service real estate brokerage should not be discounted if your homes does not sell.

Happy Holidays

You determine your asking price, probably based on assessed value. Then you put up a sign or list it in the real estate section of your local newspaper. Then you schedule your showings with prospective buyers. It's that simple! Good luck.
