| A surplus of homes on the market makes selling each of them at the buyer's price (jacked up by a hefty real estate commission) difficult. Anxious buyers have an option to edge out the competition. Selling a home by owner has many advantages including the opportunity to be more competitive on pricing. All it takes is superior advertising, realistic pricing and good preparation.
Overpricing can cripple your chances of attracting buyers. Comparison shopping is paramount to setting a selling price. Having a professional appraisal on hand is a good tool to convince the buyers that your price is realistic.
The creation of a yard sign that is easy to read and classy looking is important. A brochure box should be attached to the sign containing flyers that advertise the appealing aspects of the home.
Consideration should be given to placing an ad in a local Homes By Owner website or classified section of a local news source that appears to be easy to use and attractive to buyers. A concise newspaper ad should make reference to the website you chose.
