A friend of mine closes on her new house on Friday. She used a real estate agent to buy the new one, but sold her existing home without an agent.? In fact, she had her house listed for over a year and with only three showings during that time she decided to strike out on her own.? Successfully so, in this case.
Oftentimes the exact opposite happens.? A home owner will try to sell on their own but runs into challenges that seem insurmountable without the experience of a real estate professional.? Doug Rogers of Pineville, Louisiana tells when a for sale by owner should change to a real estate agent,
1) Security? This is often overlooked. Most ?buyers? will find a FSBO from the signs. You would be surprised what sort of people will show up on your door step. Some of them even want to buy a house. Are you prepared to speak with the person on the other end of the peep hole?
2) Thick Skin? Let?s face it, getting a home loan if FAR more difficult today than a few years back. Are you prepared to ask tough financial questions to a stranger? Or even worse, a family member? Over time, agents learn how to ask qualifying questions without being abrasive or pushy. Frankly such wisdom comes from trial and error.
