Are you in the market for a new home and curious about the For Sale By Owner signs? FSBO home shopping is the do-it-yourself approach to real estate sales, where the buyer and seller complete the transaction without a sales agent or broker. The trend has been around for decades, however, it increased remarkably when the inflation of home prices began in the early 2000 decade. By using a $10 FSBO sing for the front lawn, the home owner is able to keep all of the profit made from the sale.
The buyer interested in a FSBO property will not be able to retain a buyer’s real estate agent unless the FSBO owner puts a commission deal in writing for bringing in the buyer. The buyer’s agent is traditionally paid by the home owner’s broker with a certain percentage of the sale. However, the services of a buyer’s agent are free to the buyer, and it’s a wise move to have a real estate expert at your side when finalizing a transaction of such importance.
Many FSBO transactions are smooth sailing when the seller and buyer are competent about the real estate market and can comprehend the difficult legal paperwork involved in the sale. The most important paper for both seller and buyer is the Real Estate Transfer Disclosure document that spells out in writing every pro and con on the property. Without both signatures from the buyer and seller, any future disputes or lawsuits will, in most cases, favor the buyer. It is critical for the seller to completely fill out the document and have the buyer sign it to relieve him or herself from any liability in the future.
If you choose to sell your property on your own as a FSBO, be sure to spend your advertising dollars wisely and conduct an open house on the weekends. Flyers around town are not enough to capture a serious buyer market, so you will need to buy a block of real estate ads for at least a four to six week run in your local newspaper. Display ads with a photo do better than a classified, so use your best judgement and promote your home like the pros.
