A Guide to Selling a House Yourself... For Sale By Owner
Selling a property by the owner has become a growing
concept, especially for those of us that want to size down
after the children are gone and settled in their own homes
and the house seems too big to clean or live in without
them, not to mention the expenses in maintenance and taxes
every year. Here are some useful tips and suggestion on
selling a house yourself that will help you get the best
price in the shortest time.
Educate Yourself
Every state has specific real estate laws that you need to
find out and follow as they do not apply nationwide; most
of these laws you will be able to find online as well as
download the necessary forms and agreements that are
standard and need to be used by owners selling their own
house.
Know the value of your house my checking other similar
properties for sale in your area; this should give you a
fair idea of the price range you can expect but not before
you make a list with what needs to be repaired in your
home. Many home owners don't take care of the house anymore
as they did when they know they are going to sell it
shortly but that can seriously cut down your asking price,
as people who make such investments will look for the small
details that eventually will cost them the big bucks to fix.
Advertise Your Property
Advertisement is key when you are selling a house yourself
because that is the only way you will let, as many people
as possible know about it. Advertise your home on the
Internet with pictures and full details as well as the
price; place your house in the local newspaper and also
make flyers that you can place in local grocery stores or
other public places.
Selling a house yourself will require you to have open
house days, preferably on the weekends when people are free
and have the time to indulge. Ensure that when you have
open house days the house is clean and the little things
are impeccable such as, the lawn, the scent in the house,
the attic and/or basement is organized and very appealing
to the potential buyers.
Other Helpful Tips On Selling A House Yourself
Place a sign in on your lawn advertising your intentions to
sell the house and if possible make flyers available with
all relevant details of your house including the price and
a contact number for possible viewing. Selling a house
yourself can a great experience and even entertaining if
you have time on your hands and do your homework as far as
educating yourself about your own property and negotiation.

I work for SellHomeHouse.com and we are noticing an increase in the number of motivated sellers on the market right now. One way to sell your home quickly is to take advantage of online house buying companies (like our website) where the site guarentees you a cash offer for your house within a specific short period of time. This is a great way to sell your home quickly, and without any hassle (or realtor fees!).
