Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself?
Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...

There's More to Selling Your Home Than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. 

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to others like it in the Calgary, Bearspaw, Springbank, MD of Rocky View, Elbow Valley Estates, Heritage Pointe, MD of Foothills areas?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it in the Calgary, Bearspaw, Springbank, MD of Rocky View, Elbow Valley Estates, Heritage Pointe, MD of Foothills areas and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let Mike give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and he'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth. He'll also describe, as experienced, Calgary, Bearspaw, Springbank, MD of Rocky View, Elbow Valley Estates, Heritage Pointe, MD of Foothills area real estate agent, how he would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. 

Don't price your home by yourself! It's Mikes job to analyze the Calgary, Bearspaw, Springbank, MD of Rocky View, Elbow Valley Estates, Heritage Pointe, MD of Foothills area markets and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Real Estate Tips
For Sale By Owner >Finding Buyers

When a home owner tries to sell "By Owner", they commonly use two basic marketing techniques to advertise the property. They place a "For Sale" sign in the front yard and a classified ad in the local newspaper. When a seller lists their home with a professional real estate agent, however, a very sophisticated process is set in motion in order to facilitate the home sales transaction.

Real estate agents have a backlog of prospective buyers for the homes in their market. Through the Multiple Listing Service, the agent cooperates with other brokers in the area who will show your home to their prospective buyers. Professional real estate agents also combine direct mail, telephone calls, and specialized advertising techniques incorporating media such as the Internet, to reach the sales market. In this way we create activity on our listings that help them to sell quickly--and for the best price.
