Selling is often the key to selling for the most money. Selling a home yourself,
without an expensive real estate broker is easier than most people think.There are
two main reasons for selling the house by your self.

It\'s save the money: you can save thousands of dollars not paying a 6% or 7%
commission. For example, if your home can sell for $250,000, you'd save $15,000 to
$17,500 in commissions.

Sell Your Home Easy & Fast: It is very easy and fast to sale your home by yourself
because you are not paying an outrageous selling commission, you can afford to price
your home more aggressively. The lower price is more likely to sells fast.

Some steps should be taken to sale your home by yourself.

Preparing your home to sell:

Home buyers are attracted to clean, spacious and attractive houses. Your goal is to
dazzle buyers. Brighten-up the house and remove all clutter from counter tops,
tables and rooms. Scrub-down your house from top to bottom. You also make sure your
house smells good.

Pricing your home effectively:

When you sell a home reduces buyer interest, makes competing homes look like better
values, and can lead to mortgage rejections once the appraisal is in. Over-pricing
when selling a home is the single biggest reason why many \"for sale by owner\" home
sellers don\'t sell their homes successfully. One of the best ways to correctly price
your house when selling is to find out how many other homes, similar to your own,
recently sold for in your neighborhood. The easiest way to accurately price your
home is to contact your local home appraiser.

Get a real estate lawyer:

It may be wise to hire a lawyer who will protect your interests throughout the
entire transaction. An experienced real estate lawyer can help you evaluate
complicated offers (those with a variety of conditions), act as an escrow agent to
hold the down payment, evaluate complex mortgages and/or leases with options to buy,
review contracts and handle your home\'s closing process.

Marketing your home:

If you are taking a photo of your home, be sure that the home\'s yard/driveway is
uncluttered. Directional signs also help drive buyers to your property, especially
if you do not live on a busy street. Open houses are sometimes a good way to attract
buyers to your home.

Negotiating an offer on your home:

When a home buyer makes an offer (this is often presented to you directly from the
buyer or through their lawyer), you should consult with your attorney. Carefully
consider the purchase contract\'s other terms and conditions. If you feel the home\'s
offer is insufficient, make a counter offer.

Home inspections:

Under a general inspection you are obligated to make major repairs to appliances,
plumbing, septic, electrical and heating systems - or the buyer may cancel the
offer. Once the inspections are complete, the buyer makes an application to a
mortgage lender.

Buyer appraisals and other details:

The mortgage lender will order an appraisal of your home to make sure they are not
paying more than the house is worth. At this point too, the mortgage company will
issue a commitment. Again, the buyer (and their attorney) must complete all
conditions listed on the mortgage commitment.

Closing:

The day of the closing, the home\'s buyer will do a \"walk through\" of the property to
make sure all agreed repairs are completed and that the home is in the same
condition as when the buyer made their offer. Closings usually occur 30 - 45 days
after you have signed the sales contract. At the closing, all monies will be
collected, any existing loans or liens will be paid, the deed will be transferred,
and insurance will be issued insuring a free and clear title.
