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.

If you are in the process of selecting a moving company, here are some points to consider:
§ Established Company
Check older copies of the Qwest Dex yellow pages. This will give you a good indication as to whom the established companies are.
§ Customer Service
Are you talking to an experienced representative or a girl Friday? This can make the difference between making sure the arrangements for your move are accurate. This is simple to determine, are you being asked intelligent relevant questions about your items and conditions or are you simply being quoted an hourly rate?
§ Insurance
What is the amount of the company’s general liability policy? Will the company send you documented proof? Do you have to pay extra for insurance coverage?
§ Repair/Replacement Policy
Will the company guarantee that they will repair or replace any items that their movers damage free of charge to you or will they pay you based upon $0.60 per pound?
§ Professional Full-Time Movers
Does the company use only full-time professional movers or do they utilize labor pool personnel and day laborers?
§ Written Confirmation
Will you receive a written confirmation that includes pricing via e-mail, fax or mail before the movers show up to move you?
§ Arrival Time
Will you receive a two (2) hour window of arrival for the movers or a simple: “we’ll be there sometime in the morning.”
