Are You Really Prepared To Sell On Your Own?
Key questions for you to consider.
- Do you know what similar homes in your neighborhood have sold for in the past six months? (Asking price is not a reliable indicator.)
- Are you aware of the Federal and State laws and disclosures that you must follow as a For Sale By Owner?
- Do you know who is a serious home purchaser and who is serious about finding out what you have in your home?
- Are you capable of qualifying a VA/FHA purchaser? A conventional purchaser?
- What do you do if your home does not appraise for the price that you have sold it for?
