How Do I Get Started?
This website is designed to assist
those who wish to buy or sell their home without the assistance
of a real estate broker. Anyone can do it and the savings are
immense.
SET
A PRICE
One must first decide on the value of the home.
What price should I sell it for?
- (the seller asks)
What price is a fair price to pay?
- (the buyer asks)
There is no magic to deciding upon
the proper price. Look through the real estate listings on your
computer for your area. Look through the realtors' magazines that
are distributed at the local supermarkets. There you will find as
good an indication of the value of your house as anyone can provide
for you.
After deciding on a price, put up
a sign. Enlist the help of the websites which are available to you
such as
www.forsalebyowner.com, a highly recomended website for both
buyers and sellers.
A
CLEAN HOUSE SELLS
When selling a house - clean it up. New paint, new
wax, make it sparkle. A buyer doesn't want to spend the extra money
after settlement to make improvements and the house will sell quicker
and for more money if it is clean, bright and fresh.
HIRE
HOME SALE SERVICES, INC.
Entering into a contract for the Agreement
of Sale is the most complicated and technically difficult
aspect of the process. That is where Home Sale Services,
Inc. can assist you. That's where our expertise resides.
We help you design this contract and protect your interests in the
sale or purchase of the home. This sale or purchase, on many occasions,
represents the largest outlay of money that you will make in your
lifetime. Protect it. See Agreement of Sale.
A
TITLE COMPANY
Every sale needs a title company. The bank or mortgage
company won't give you a mortgage without having title insurance.
The title company provides a place to hold the settlement. They
apportion the taxes to the date of settlement. The title company
insures that the title to your real estate is free from any claims
effecting your ownership. It protects you from judgments, mechanics
liens, boundary line disputes, unpaid taxes and other concealed
problems like forgery or other frauds.
MARKETING
Use the internet. The internet has websites which
provide extensive exposure for sellers
and buyers.
- Put up a sign.
- Advertise in the local paper.
- Always use a picture.
- Create an information sheet that you can distribute to those
who come to visit.
