If you're like most people attempting to sell their home without professional assistance, a desire to save the agent's commission is probably the main reason you've decided to go it alone.

Believe me, I understand the impulse well. In the current economy, every dollar counts.

What you may not realize, however, is that professionally marketed properties routinely sell for more money than FSBOs (for sale by owner). Which means that when all is finalized, all contracts are signed, the deal closes, and the commission is paid you will receive the same, often more money than if you had sold privately without any up front expenses for marketing or headaches throughout the whole process.

As many Canadians, you are probably going to use the proceeds of your sale to purchase your next property, which is a very wise move.

Home ownership remains one of the best long-term investments youll ever make.

I can work with you to get top dollar for your property!

I will offer you a FREE HOME EVALUATON!

You will receive information on what comparable homes have sold for in your neighborhood. This will allow us to price your home correctly right from the start. This is crucial.

~Overpriced properties often linger on the market for many months, eventually selling for less than they are worth. ~Pricing your home too low, on the other hand, may well result in a quick sale without the seller realizing that they could have gotten another $10k-$20k.

I will launch an extensive marketing campaign in order to reach a critical mass of potential buyers for your property.

Maximum market exposure results in maximum offers!

And once an offer is made, you'll be represented by an experienced negotiator able to get you the best possible price.

Competition: Every buyer makes his decision about which home to buy and how much is it worth by his other choices at the time he buys. The supply of other choices the Buyers will compare with your home is constantly changing each week and month. The current competition always affects the Buyers opinion of your property and what he thinks it is worth. So, the question is: What will be the Buyers other choices at the time they are shown your property?

Price: If the property has not sold after a reasonable length of time, but other similar properties have sold, then the price may need to be reduced. If this is true and the price is not reduced, a sale may be delayed or prevented.

Property: If the property should show poorly or have major defects which cannot be, or are not corrected, a sale may not occur until the defects are corrected or the price is adjusted to compensate for them.

Financing: The current cost of mortgage financing plays an important role in affordability to most prospective Buyers. If these costs are too high, then the financing may cause a delay or prevent a sale.

Timing: Timing is the condition of the real estate market at the time of the sale. Supply and demand are the factors influencing whether it is a Sellers or a Buyers market. Neither the seller nor the listing agent can change the market conditions at the time the property is for sale. It must be accepted for what it is.

Marketing: Marketing techniques are being constantly tested and updated for the best results. But even expert marketing has limitations because marketing cannot overcome any of the first five factors if they are out of balance and remain uncorrected. You will be supplied with a constant flow of updated information which will help you determine the marketability

Do YOU really need a REALTOR to sell YOUR home?

Many people who try to sell their own home end up using a REALTOR in the end anyway. Before anybody decides to fly solo through this complex, time consuming and financially perilous process, they should consider these questions.

13

Will you really "save" the real estate commission?When buyers see a home for sale 'by the owner', they see a bargain. They imagine the REALTOR's fee going into their pocket, not yours.

How many potential buyers will you reach?Selling a home takes more than just hanging a "For Sale" sign. How will you promote your home? Will you buy ads in the local newspapers to promote your home? Which internet sites will you advertise on? How will you reach all the local REALTORS and their buyers?

Do you have the time?Promoting a home is a full time job, and you may already have one. Will you be able to take calls at any time? How about screening the callers to figure out if they're suitable candidates? Not everybody who calls is even suitable to walk through your home, but how do you tell?

Do you know the market well enough to get the most for your home?Lacking years of experience, the average do-it-yourselfer is merely guessing at their listing price. Often they set the price too low and miss out on thousands of dollars, or they price their home too high and drive away willing buyers.

Do you have the negotiation skills to keep a deal on track?When an offer comes in, emotions can run high with so much money on the line. This is why direct seller-to-buyer deals often end in disaster. REALTORS keep it professional, unbiased and are indispensable when it comes to bargaining with buyers.

Create the illusion of space by rearranging the furniture. Try different combinations or remove and store pieces that make it feel crowded.

Arrange the furniture in living areas into intimate groupings that suggest entertaining and ideal conversational settings.

Consider rental furniture, especially when the pieces you have don't match, are badly worn, or are in any state of disrepair.

Add decorative pillows and slipcovers in warm neutral tones to hide flaws and make pieces blend.

Eliminate clutter. Store or get rid of appliances, gadgets, newspapers, mail or anything that takes up space or distracts attention.

De-personalize your home so buyers can imagine living in it. Store pictures, awards, trophies, collectibles, and other personal keepsakes.

Paint walls in inviting neutral colors to cover flaws and freshen rooms.

Add small luxurious touches to bathrooms and bedrooms. Think plush towels, fresh flowers, high-end bed linens, and pretty bath soaps.

Eliminate unpleasant odors and smells that can kill a sale. Fragrant candles, plug-ins, and home sprays can help, but nothing smells better than clean.

Plants and or flowers add an aura of softness and warmth to any room. Large or small, real or silk-they're a favorite of professional stagers.
