For Sale By Owner: Tips for an Easy Sale
If you decide to sell your home yourself, instead of working with a real estate agency, then there are some very important things you should know before placing your first “For Sale by Owner” (FSBO) advertisement. First, you would have to do your own marketing analysis and develop a reasonable asking price for your house. Then you will also have to work on the home’s interior and curb appeal and repair any minor problems.
Curb Appeal not only includes your front yard, but also applies to your back yard as well. Buyers will eventually want to view the back yard as they are shown the rest of your house. In order to have an attractive curb appeal, you can:
1. Mow the lawn and pull all the weeds by hand or by the use of a weed eater.
2. Rake leaves and dispose properly of the leaves, so there aren’t any unsightly leaf piles in the yard.
3. Pick up any debris and put it in the trash.
4. Trim bushes, shrubs or trees that are overgrown. Trees with branches extending toward your roof should be trimmed back to avoid damage to the house.
