I’ll Just Sell my House Myself!

 We hear this all the time. I know it’s tempting to try to save some money by trying to market your home yourself using a do it yourself service online.  There are a few major problems with this. As your trusted broker in our valley, I’ll always shoot straight with you and tell you the ups and downs and in-betweens on any strategy you are considering and this topic is no different.  For most of us, selling or buying a home is the most expensive transaction we ever take part in. Simply due to the enormity of the dollars and cents of it all, there is much more at stake than selling something yourself online on eBay or Craigslist where the risk is considerably lower. The bigger issue, however, is the liability that can play a role since there are several documents that are tied to any successful Real Estate deal that need to be fully completed and understood to give you a healthy level of protection against suits etc., arising from lack of disclosure etc. Lastly, statistics show that using a professional team of agents can ultimately get you considerably more for your home even after fees due to our marketing expertise specifically in Home sales and our access to agent-to-agent networks. You free yourself to focus on your life, career and next home purchase and we do the heavy lifting and protect you from more liability and reduce the stress that often arises from the whole situation. You may be great at marketing and might even be a pro at photography but just remember that if your life was in danger you wouldn’t want anyone messing with a scalpel near you that hasn’t been in that position hundreds of times in the recent past so with something this big, why not leverage a pro and make more money by doing so? Your stress level, bank account and overall enjoyment of the process will all benefit from it.
