Trying to sell your house by owner, and trying to do it fast? Just selling your house yourself without an agent can be a task all in itself, but if you need to sell your house fast as well, then you are going to need some good guidance and all the tips you can get. Tips On How To Sell Your House By Owner FastThere is a lot to do when selling your house, and even more when selling a property yourself, or For Sale By Owner - FSBO (pronounced FIZZ-BO). Now not only do you have to pack and get ready to move to your new house, but you also have to take on the roll of being your own real estate agent. Get Your House ReadySo where do you start? The first thing you need to do is get the house itself ready to sell:
Getting your friends opinions about how your house looks is a great idea, just be prepared for any possible negative comments. It's what they see and probably what a potential buyer will see as well. When it comes to making repairs you have to fix all of the little things like faucets that drip, doors and windows that don't operate correctly, broken cabinet handles and every other little thing. If you don't do it now chances are it will come up when the buyer has a home inspection done anyway. Also if a buyer sees a lot of little things wrong with your house they are probably going to wonder how many more things are wrong that they can't see. Set The PriceNow that you have your house all nice, neat and repaired it's time to set the asking price for your home. This is more important than you might think. Set the price to high and you won't have anyone interested in even looking at your house. Then when you lower your price buyers tend to wonder what's wrong with your house. Here's some great advice from Zillow on getting the price right:
Personally we don't go by Zillow's Zestimate at all. We do however look at what similar properties in the area have recently sold for, within the last 6 months. These properties are called comparables. We also look at comparables on other sites as well like Trulia and Redfin to make sure we are looking at as many comparables as possible. If you are having trouble setting your price you may want to reach out to an agent and ask for their help. List Your PropertyNow you have your house looking like a shiny new penny and have your price set. Now it's time to start marketing! You need to list your property on the web in as many places as possible. Most buyers now start their search on the internet for their new home, many times right from their smart phone. Here are some great ideas from Consumer Reports for listings:
Using Owners.com is a great deal to list your home for you on multiple platforms. It is important to remember that no matter if you list on the MLS or not your buyer may have an agent in which case you will have to pay 3% in buyer agent commissions.
