Are you thinking of selling your home or land? Thinking of buying? Are you thinking of trying either on your own? Although it can seem to be intimidating, real estate shouldn't be. In fact, with a few simple precautions, buying or selling real estate on your own can be rewarding and extremely cost efficient. The most cost effective way is selling 'by owner'. There are many land for sale owner guide's available on the web
Real estate agents make a huge percentage of your purchase or sale. Not to downplay the efforts of your real estate agent, but most of what they do can be done by YOU at little or no cost. Put up a for sale by owner sign if you're in a high traffic area, place newspaper or, more effective, online ads or consult a 'For Sale by Owner' agent. These agencies will list your land or home usually for a flat fee and usually take no commission. This could save you from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars!
Spruce up your home before a sale! This can't be stressed any more! A dirty home will not sell! Consider hiring a 'staging' company who will make your home look like a show home. If the home is beyond 'sprucing up' consider a fresh coat of paint inside and out and doing some basic landscaping to improve the 'curb appeal'. Add any expenses into the sale price of the home and you will typically get your money back in the end. Sell smart! A quick web search for 'land for sale owner' will lead you to make helpful guides.
