For Free Internet Advertising for FSBO (For Sale By Owner) read below
It is our goal to help FSBOs to obtain a presence on the internet. We offer to place pictures (up to 7) and limited descriptions of the property with your permission. This free offer cost the realtors at WinPlaceShowHomes.com to place this on their site.
As professional realtors we recognize the desire for sellers to save on commissions, we will place photos and property descriptions with in our site made especially for FSBO’s. The only thing we leave out is the street address. We will seek to represent the buyers with a “Buyers Agency” which means the buyer(s) will work with the realtor who spends their time with the buyer(s) and therefore representing the buyers and not the sellers. Not all buyers looking at fsbos are comfortable in signing this buyer’s agency so; the other alternative is to have the seller sign a “One Time Showing Agreement” for a specified percentage (usually reduced from average) and to specified parties. This agreement protects the agent commission/time and limits the seller to only those customers present and the people they represent (such as a relative or business partner) as specified in the agreement. ( agents are never obligated to bring their customers by if their business is not protected, it is spelled out in the agreement, and these agreements spell out who the agent represents)
Remember the only true good deal is one where everyone gets something for their effort. This can be the classic WIN-WIN situation with all cooperating.
In return all we ask at WinPlaceShowHomes.com is that when you need to use a Saratoga Realtor you will utilize the people who supported you. Fair Enough?
WinPlaceShowHomes.com reserves the right to remove any listing at any time for any reason. It is up to the owner to notify us when a property is sold or withdrawn from the market, or any status change that affects the marketability of the property. We Specilize in Saratoga Spring Real Estate.
Below are free tips to help sell your home
Tip # 1 Is Your Buyer Qualified?
Unless the buyer who makes an offer on your home has the resources to qualify for a mortgage, you may not really have a sale. If possible, try to determine a buyer's financial status before signing the contract. Ask:
- If the buyer has been pre-qualified or pre-approved (better) for a mortgage. Such buyers will be in a much better position to obtain a mortgage promptly.
- Does the buyer have enough money to make a down payment and cover closing costs? Ideally, a buyer should have 20 percent of the home's price as a down payment and between 2 and 7 percent of the price to cover closing costs.
- Is the buyer's income sufficient to afford your home? Ideally, buyers should spend no more than 28 percent of total income to cover PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).
- Does your buyer have good credit? Ask if he or she has reviewed and corrected a credit report.
- Does the buyer have too much debt? If a buyer owes a great deal on car payments, credit cards, etc., he or she may not qualify for a mortgage.
Tip #2 Consider Using a "Talking House"
Talking House is an amazing hi-tech radio Transmitter that you place discreetly inside your home to sell it faster for top dollar. Available from only a few saratoga Realtors. Talking House broadcasts a customized sales message from you describing the most exciting features of your home over the airwaves 24/7. House hunters simply tune their car radios to hear an attention-grabbing message complete with instructions to phone you to schedule a showing. ASK for a rental rate... cost can be as little as $2 a day
Tip # 3 Pricing Your Home to Sell
• Consider comparables. What have other homes in your neighborhood sold for recently? How do they compare to yours in terms of size, upkeep, and amenities?
• Consider competition. How many other houses are for sale in your area? Are you competing against new homes?
• Consider your contingencies. Do you have special concerns that would affect the price you'll receive? For example, do you want to be able to move in four months?
• Get an appraisal. For a few hundred dollars, a qualified appraiser can give you an estimate of your home's value. Be sure to ask for a market-value appraisal. To locate appraisers in your area, contact The Appraisal Institute (www.appraisalinstitute.org) or ask me for a recommendation.
• Ask a lender. Since most buyers will need a mortgage, it's important that a home's sale price be in line with a lender's estimate of its value.
• Be accurate. Studies show that homes priced more than 3 percent over the correct price take much longer to sell.
• Know what you'll take. It's critical to know what price you will accept before beginning any negotiation with a buyer.
Tip #4 10 Inexpensive Ways to Make Your House More Appealing
Get rid of clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem roomier. Clean out the garage.
- Clean your windows and screens to let more light into the interior.
- Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared for.
- Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows. Possibly light a scented candle, or bake some cookies
- Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms seem brighter, especially basements and other dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.
- Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small problems such as peeling paint, sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, or dripping faucets may seem trivial, but lack of maintenance gives buyers the impression that the house isn't well maintained.
- Tidy up the yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright flowers near the entryway. Put Toys Away.
- Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
- Clean your gutters.
- Polish your front doorknob and door numbers if possible.
