Should we use a
Realtor to buy a For Sale By Owner?
THE ANSWER IS YES!
-
Why would someone sell for sale by owner? We want you
to be careful of the reasons why they are avoiding a real estate
company. Our job is to find out those reasons. Buying a home
is a very large investment. We want to make sure your investment
will be a good one.
- When you are working with us in a mutual
relationship please notify us if you find a home that
is for sale by owner. Let
us contact them and start negotiating on your behalf. We
don’t
want them to know how motivated you are this can hurt you
in negotiations. Having us as a third party removed can help
you
get the best price.
- We will research and provide you with
the history of sold properties to help you in determining
the value of the property
to make
sure you are not paying more than it’s value.
- We draft
the documents and negotiate on your behalf when purchasing
the property.
- We arrange inspections, appraisals, closings
and act as the transaction manager to make sure the process
goes
smoothly
and to your satisfaction.
- We attend the closing with you
to be available for last minute issues.
Will this service cost you more for the home? In most cases
no! Most sellers are more than willing to pay the “Buyer
Representative Fee” because the services of a Realtor,
as the transaction manager, help them as well. The complexity
of a property sale needs the experience of a knowledgeable
Realtor.
