4 Ways to Sell Your Home
PRIVATE SALE
For Sale By Owner
• No pre-qualification of potential buyers
• Some buyers are uncomfortable dealing directly with owner
• Less likely to get honest feedback from prospective buyers
• Owner is emotionally involved and therefore not as effective at negotiation
• Buyers will expect commission savings to be reflected in the price
• High cost of advertising a single property will reduce market exposure
“ NO COMMISSION” SERVICE
Flat Fee
• Fee is payable even if property does not sell
• Not a member of Real Estate Institute so no consumer protection
• Limited services and less experienced, lower paid sales staff
• No presence in “Property Guide” the primary source for active buyers in the region
GENERAL AGENCY
Offering your property for sale through multiple agencies simultaneously.
• Low market exposure. (Most agencies will not advertise General Listings)
• No one person responsible for coordinating marketing and providing feedback
• Only a 10% chance of selling in first 90 days
• No accountability!
SOLE AGENCY
Offering your property for sale exclusively through a single real estate agency
• Full accountability. One person assumes total responsibility for the marketing and sale of your property
• Weekly advertising in “Property Guide”, the primary source for active buyers in the region
• Weekly written feedback reports and regular review meetings
• 80% chance of selling in first 90 days
• No commission paid until a sales contract is secured on your terms
