I know what you are thinking. Sell by owner has its advantages; of course only if you know the process. In real estate it is always big numbers and yes selling real estate by owner it does save some money.
When you sell directly you can save the commission fees and here is how you can do it:
Prepare your house to be on the market.
It is always ideal to have the house empty and clean, it looks more professional besides I don't think it is a good idea to have strangers walking around inside your house, search for storage space if you need one.
Get a storage unit to store items store it in portable containers to make it easy to restore in your new home if you just got a new home. Deep-clean the house-curb the kitchen counters and appliances, scrub the carpets, clean tile or linoleum floors, and dust the tables. Lighten up the house using natural and artificial light, and maybe even a fresh coat of paint, to brighten up the interior of your house.
Don't forget the living area-the first thing most customers can see. Trim the grass, refresh the silage beds.Wash the burden together with your walkways and driveway. Plant some fresh flowers particularly near the entrance this will make the house look attractive.
Price Your Home Competitively
When selling a home consider using the internet to get an idea of the sales rates for similar homes in your area. That's what real estate companies and tax assessors are doing anyway. Don't forget, you aim to sell your house, not price it for the sake of keeping it.
Get a flat rate listing such as Inmobiliaria365
Inmobiliaria365.com is a flat rate listing for real estate properties and the advantage is that they don't restrict your listing by zones like most listing services. All real estate properties on Inmobiliaria365 are globally viewed by states and cities.
Also consider using brochures, online ads to market your property, yes these are expenses involved in advertising your house, but they would be a fraction of the agent's fee.
