How to Sell Your Own House Faster without an Agent in A Buyer's Market in Gwinnett County, GA

In my last article and blog post, I wrote about the competition to sell your home being Short Sales and Foreclosures

. Not only do they create a huge problem in activity and showings, they create even larger problem when your home must appraise for the contract price. Many appraisals are coming in lower than the agreed upon price. It's a problem that is typically not discussed until it happens.

If your home is under contract for $200,000, the typical fee to list, market, and sell your home through an agent is around 15% and can be as high as 20%.That's $30,000 for a $200,000 home. That means you need $30,000 in equity or you may be bringing a check to closing. If there are 2 or 3 Short Sales or Foreclosures in your neighborhood, there is a good chance they will be included in the appraisal. When they typically sell for 15-40% discount, it doesn't take many of these to affect the market value of your home. Before listing your home, make sure the real estate agent provides you a CMA and a Net Sheet. These should give you a realistic assessment of the market value and cost to sell your house. If you do decide to list witha Realtor, remember that it cost just as much to hire the best as it does to hire a beginner.

However, you can sell your home yourself faster and for more money. How? By selling it with Owner Financing or a Lease to Sell. Yes, you may have to wait a short period of time for the buyers to qualify, but you will save the commissions, fees, and may side step the appraisal issues. How? When you sell your home with Lease to Sell or Owner Financing there isn't really any negotiating with the buyers and there are no fees. You can save the $30,000 by being patient. You still have to market the home atpresent value and you will have to market the home in a different way. When done properly these two methods can be an excellent way to profit and benefit from this down market. By the way, this is the only way I have been selling my own homes for over 2 years. It works! Make sure you structure the sale properly so both the buyer and seller are protected.
