Is putting a sign in the yard all it takes to sell a home? Sometimes, but not usually. Selling a home takes marketing. Both advertising and letting everyone know that the home is available. Classified ads can be confusing and many buyers may overlook yours.
All you have to do is to price your home correctly and you can sell it and save paying a commission. Well, sometimes. Usually people who are looking at a ?For Sale By Owner? are looking to save money also. So they will figure out the value of your home and subtract the commission.
You?re smart, and all you have to do is get the home under contract with a buyer and wait for the sale to close. Not usually. The negotiation of the sales contract is only the first and sometimes the easiest part of the transaction. Plus Real Estate contracts are confusing and it is easy to overlook parts of the contract that could end up costing you money. Many buyers of FSBOs know obscure parts of the contracts and use them to take advantage of the sellers.
