FSBO or LIST - WHICH WAY TO GO?http://www.russfoley.com/blogs/fsbo/atom.aspxCommunity Server2007-07-21T18:40:00ZFSBO Can be a tool in the current market!http://www.russfoley.com/blogs/fsbo/archive/2007/07/21/fsbo-can-be-a-tool-in-the-current-market.aspx2007-07-21T23:40:00Z2007-07-21T23:40:00Z<p>If you use the fee to attract buyers. If your thinking that your going to sell your home at a list price and save the real estate fee, it is not going to happen. There are too many listed homes at great prices, unlike a Sellers market when buyers have to search for homes and will pay top dollar.</p><p> There are few buyers at the moment and fewer still who have the knowledge or personality type to enter into such a large investment without the service and advice of an agent. The only tool a "FSBO" has is savings and savings to the buyer large enough to intice them into taking on such a sale.</p><p> Take a majority of the fee and reflect it in your asking price and then use the remaining funds to market your home. A sign in the yard is not going to get your home sold. </p><p>Your asking price, in the current market it is better to be lower, standout and get buyers in the door then to have a large pad, get offers and then negotiate. With more homes then can be seen most buyers will skip over homes that don't offer a clear value.</p><img src="http://www.russfoley.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=148488" width="1" height="1">30684http://www.russfoley.com/members/30684.aspx
