Segment 3 – How To Sell a House Without a Realtor
Barb, A lot of people believe this market is so hot, there is no issue with selling a home. So why go with a full commission, full-service agent when you can get the same services, pretty much from an agent who discounts their fee or by selling it themselves? Are they really saving money?
• I Get Why People Think Agents are Not Helpful
• Training in Industry is NOT outstanding
• People want a solution to their problem but most agents don’t have one.
- Very few offer Sale Guarantees - as we do
- Very few offer Cancellation Guarantees – as we do
- Many just – Post and Hope!
Home Sellers CAN Sell it Themselves
• Recently I’ve helped a few do just that!
• They found their own buyers – that’s ok.
• Free service to them because they are repeat clients.
If They Sell it Themselves…
• Are they getting the Highest Price?
• Are they protected from Future Problems?
• Legal, Financial
Legal Challenges:
• Proper Disclosures
• Proper Contracts (seller financing – attorneys must write)
Financial Challenges
• Is the buyer properly vetted?
• Do they have a house to sell?
(Note: Lenders do NOT include that in their Pre Approval letter!?!)
• Bad Agents Make It Harder for the Good Agents
• Just spoke with a young man that purchased a home from a ‘recommended’ real estate agent - Sight Unseen!
• (Turned out it was that agent's first transaction)
• Is It Really a Done Deal at Closing?
• Agent promised ALOT of Commute Time – WAY LONGER than promised
• Inspection Repairs Done? – NOT done by a licensed person – done by a Handyman (electrical)
Everyone wants a great deal! But is a home seller really saving money going with a discount agent or no agent at all? I recently sold a client’s home that had been on the market for months in the hottest market ever with no sale. I not only got it sold but for $57,000 OVER the asking price.
Not all real estate agents are the same. If fact we are all different! You want to choose an agent that shows you how they can command you the MOST amount of money when you sell, not the least.
I’m Barb Schlinker with Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty. I have helped hundreds of home sellers who tried to hire a discount agent who charges low fees but their homes ended up NOT selling with that agent! I AVERAGE: $21,400 over Asking Price
It's not just Saving the Commission:
Most agents are ‘messengers’ and fail to fight top dollar. I helped one couple sell their home and the buyer asked for a repair credit that was more than double what that repair would cost. We had the experience to find an estimate and save the seller over $2000 on just that 1 repair.
