Why
Buy Your Home "For Sale By Owner" |

- Saves You Money - Most People Don't Want to Give Away Their
Equity
When buying with a realtor the cost of the house is normally
6-7% higher to cover Realtor commissions. The buyer is usually
the one who has to eat the extra costs of using a realtor. When
buying " By Owner " the seller can offer the house
at a lower price.
- Saves You Time and It's More Convenient
By communicating directly with the seller, everything is more
direct and less confusing. There is no better way to learn
about
the house than from the people who own it and live in it. Once
you decide on a house to purchase, cutting out the middleman
(realtor) will save you a lot of time when negotiating on
the sale price.
- It's Less Confusing
When the buyer and seller are the only two parties involved
in negotiating the sale of the property, it is less confusing
and alleviates conflicting interests. When selling and buying
"for sale by owner" both parties are ultimately in
control. There are no concerns about commissions or rushing
the sell. Buying "for sale by owner" is all about
finding the RIGHT house at the RIGHT price.
- It's Easy
The number one real estate myth propagated by agents is that
it is complicated and difficult to sell or buy a home yourself.
Therefore, most people believe that it is virtually impossible
to purchase real estate without a realtor. That is far from
the truth! It is quite simple (Read our "tips").
On the contrary, the most complicated and difficult part of
a real
estate transaction is handled by a title or escrow compay.
These companies are involved and paid by you whether or not
you use
a real estate agent.
