Get to Know the Facts

Selling a home can seem like a daunting task regardless of whether you are represented by a licensed professional or not. The key in any case is to be prepared. While many homeowners don't mind the usual necessary tasks of screening, scheduling and showing--in today's market it is key that For Sale By Owner (FSBOs) gather the information and resources necessary to make educated decisions before marketing their home. Also, know that when it comes to selling a home FSBO, there is both good news and bad news.

First, The Bad News
According to the National Association of Realtors in 2006:

Only 12% of all home sellers chose to sell their home FSBO
40% of all FSBOs sold their home to someone they knew before the transaction.
Only 7% of all home sales were open market transactions where the FSBO was able to locate the Buyer and execute the transaction; and finally and probably most important
Homes which sold FSBO, sold on avereage for 32% less than homes which sold with the help of a real estate professional

Now the Good News
If you have had experience selling homes on your own in the past, you may want to consider selling your home within the FSBO market. The key is being able to avoid the pitfalls of:

Limited exposure leading to less profit,
Not knowing which legal forms and disclosures are necessary to keep you out of court,
Ineffective marketing, and
Incorrect pricing which is one of the main reasons homes fail to sell or sell for much less then they are worth

In today's market, with record high home inventories meaning increased competition, it is important to be as knowledgable as possible.
