For Sale By Owners take note

In todays tough economic times, many sellers are taking a stab at selling their home themselves, maybe to save some money on the commission that they will have to give up.  But many of those FSBO homes sit longer than homes marketed by a real estate agent. If you are a FSBO, there are some things that you can do to help.

To start with, A FSBO may want to invest in a Pre Sale home inspection.  This can help determine the true condition of the home and identify any problems that exist which may turn away buyers.  This Pre Sale Inspection will give you the opportunity to repair those issues before buyers start coming around.

Some other common tips are:
Price Accurately and be aware of your competition
Market aggressively with the various fore sale by owner sites out there
Make a good first impression of your house
Declutter the living space and fix up the interior
Create a backyard oasis that a potential buyer can envision themselves being in.
