Toledo Real Estate Homes For Sale By Owner?

Selling without an agent can sometimes work. We will be the first to congratulate you if you succeed!

You need to know that there might be a faster way.

A trained negotiator and marketer who is already working with buyers looking for a house like yours might be able to put more money in your pocket.

If an agent charges 7% but can get 8% more for your house than you can when working alone, then EVERYBODY WINS. You get more cash, and you sell faster!

How can this be? Well, let me ask you this.

If I gave you a REAL ROLEX WATCH, and gave one to a Jewelry Store...Who do you think could sell that watch for more money?

Or maybe you like this question better?
Why do used car buyers pay dealers more (any day and every day) than they will pay a private seller for the same car?

Why is this so true?

The Jewelry Store or Car Dealer has a Local Reputation, The Advantage of a Brand and Marketing Plan, They Advertise For Buyers A Lot More Than You Can, They have a Previously Developed Clientelle, Buyers feel safer knowing there is professional representation and some company to stand behind the transaction, Buyers who feel safer make higher offers.

When it comes to real estate, the same holds true. An agent at a reputable brokerage with a good reputation and a ready group of buyer clients can command a higher price for your house.

Also note, most buyers expect to 'save the commission' if they bother to make an offer on a home that is for sale by owner. They don't care about your wallet, only their own... So don't be surprised by lowball offers.

Sometimes it works. Hooray for when it does!

You might want to know that it is a statistical fact, according to NAR, that most For Sale By Owner homes sell for 15-20% less than similar homes in the same neighborhood when sold by Realtors.
