10 Thoughts to Consider...

Setting your own price may not be beneficial to you if you're not aware of market conditions.

You're always on call - ad calls, sign calls, open houses

Difficult to qualify potential buyers - Are they just nosy neighbours? Are they there just to check out your valuables? Can they afford your home?

It's easy to praise your own home, but difficult to get purchaser feedback & critique - buyers are usually polite and may not tell you the truth.

You're not exposing yourself to the vast number of true buyer's because your marketing plan is limited - will you be getting the highest and best price?

You don't have over 800 REALTORS® working for you & you may not be advertised on the Internet.

Drafting the offer can be challenging - There are many clauses to consider these days and many loopholes you should be avoiding. Yes, a lawyer can draft the offer, but there's a fee attached.

How will you know if an offer is a fair one? - Lawyers aren't aware of current market values.

Most buyers like to work with a REALTOR® when negotiating rather than working with you directly - because their interest needs protecting too!

Buyers know you're selling your own home to save commission, so they will inevitably reduce their offer by this amount so they end up saving money instead of you.

About 80% - 90% of Homeowners who try to Sell Privately
end up using the full services of a REALTOR®.

If you feel you'll fall into this group then don't forget to call
Lil Wilkinson Realty. We will certainly enjoy talking with you!
