The reason why some people in Queen Creek prefer to sell their homes alone without the help of a real estate agent or broker is to save money. An amount of nine thousand dollars has been estimated to be bulk of money that you can save if you decide to sell your house by yourself. With that amount of money as savings on home sales, who would want to use a real estate broker?
Despite the advantages of selling your house by yourself, there are the downsides that you should be aware of.
When you sell your house by yourself, you actually limit the number of people that you can reach with the information that your home is for sale. A real estate broker is trained to tap into the network of potential real estate buyers and can therefore pass the information across to a large number of people.
However, working alone to sell your home can be limiting unless you are creative with the marketing technique you employ. Also, working alone in the sale of your house can prevent you from having access to the multiple listings service. Only real estate agents Queen Creek AZ can be listed on this service.
If a buyer is aware that you are selling off your house by yourself, he or she may try to negotiate the price of the house. If you are not skilled in negotiating, you may end up selling the house for less the price that it should be. Buyers are most hesitant to negotiate price when a real estate broker is present.
In addition you may actually hinder the sale of your house if you are the one taking the buyers on a tour around your house. They may feel like they are intruding.
Lastly, any mistake you make is solely yours. That can be frightening especially when it is a costly mistake.
