5 Pitfalls to avoid when selling your property FOR SALE BY OWNER

Trying to sell your home by yourself (For Sale By Owner) can be a daunting task. Here are 5 mistakes to avoid that will ensure you will sell your house much faster:

1. Over Pricing The House

We would all love to get the highest price possible for our property, but in reality this does not happen very often. All you are really doing by starting out with a high price is turning off potential buyers. It really doesn’t matter that you just spent money updating the bathrooms and the kitchen. If other similar houses in the neighborhood are not updated and selling in a certain price range, it is highly unlikely that buyers are going to be willing to pay the extra for yours, especially if they are buying it as a rental. Be realistic and don’t scare off perfectly good buyers with an emotionally high price. Search your property address on Zillow to get a rough estimate of how much it is worth and how much similar properties sold for.

2. Thinking That a Sign In The Front Yard Will Get The Property Sold

You have to be prepared to do marketing if you want to sell your property (for sale by owner). Not to say that it is impossible for someone to see your sign and make you a reasonable offer, but you are missing out on a huge chunk of potential buyers if you don’t spend time, energy and money on marketing outside of your neighborhood. This could lead to selling your house faster and/or getting a higher price.

Consider listing your property on websites like Craigslist , Forsalebyowner.com. These sites will put your property in front of people who are actively looking to buy.

A strategy that I would highly recommend in today’s world would be to do some advertising on Facebook. Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over 1.4 billion active users. This platform is extremely powerful in that you can specifically target by location and specific demographics. For example you could easily target people who like Home Depot that live within a 10 mile radius of your property. If you are not that familiar with the platform, there are tons of videos on YouTube to show you how.

These are just a few ideas, but be creative and don’t just rely on the sign.

3. Signing a Contract With An Unqualified Buyer

Another mistake to avoid is accepting offers from unqualified buyers. This will just waste your time, especially if you want to sell the house quickly. You will have to start the process from scratch if someone is unable to close on the property. To avoid this, ask the potential buyer to contact a lender and get pre-qualified before accepting any offers. You can also verify this yourself with the lender if you are unsure.

4. Use Poor Quality Pictures

It is a little known secret in the real estate industry that great pictures can sell a property. I would edit that a bit to say great pictures can generate enough interest for someone to come out and see the property. That being said, hire a photographer, borrow a camera or do what you have to do to get high quality images of your property.

No matter how great the place is in real life, if someone sees dingy pictures, that is a big turn off. You could be chasing away potential buyers. Also remember that when you are taking pictures, you are not just selling a house, you are selling a lifestyle.

5. Not Preparing The Property For Sale

This should be common sense, but it occurs very often. If you are trying to sell your house, PLEASE ensure that repairs are done and problems fixed before trying to sell. There is no bigger turn off to a buyer than walking into the kitchen or bathroom and realizing that there are plumbing issues or a section of the roof is falling apart. This is really an invitation for a low ball offer.

Another very important step is to have a professional cleaning done (at minimum) to bring the spark back into the property. Get those carpets clean and all the stains off the walls! 

Another ignored task is skimping on the landscaping. The property maybe in great shape but if the curb appeal is off, buyers may not even want to go in. Hire a landscaper and get the outside of the property in tip top shape.

When to SELL your House to a Real Estate Investor

I want to use this space today to clear the name of real estate investors who are quite frequently accused of trying to “steal” people’s homes. The funny thing is that most investors, like myself really just want to help people, but there seems to be some disconnect throughout the process based on preconceived notions that home owners have about investors. I hope this post can clear the air in some way.

As a homeowner trying to sell your property, You need to ask yourself one simple question:

HOW MOTIVATED AM I?

That’s it.

The solution an investor provides to a home owner is that we are able to get you CASH for your property in a relatively short amount of time (3 to 4 weeks). This means that if you are in a situation where you absolutely need cash fast and you have decided that selling your property is the best suited option, then this is the perfect job for a real estate investor. No other professional is better suited for this task.

Reason being, most real estate investors have quick access to cash or have an extensive buyer network who are always looking for properties to buy. Our business alone has over 1000 buyers in our network looking for properties in South Florida, and we are just a small family business. If the investor doesn’t buy your property herself, one email blast from that investor to their network can have your house sold within a matter of days. That is the value an investor provides to a homeowner who is motivated.

So you maybe thinking, how much does a real estate investor charge for this wonderful service? There is usually no charge or commission for the service.

However, An investor expects that the homeowner will agree to a slightly discounted price (based on the market value which is not subjective, we can literally see what similar homes are selling for in the area). This is not an unreasonable ask. At the end of the day, this is how we earn a living and provide for our families. This discount is usually necessary to also ensure that there is profit in the deal for other investors as well, which is the MAIN reason we have the ability to acquire cash so quickly. It’s a win/win for everyone, including the home owner.

I can usually tell within the first 5 minutes of interacting with a homeowner how motivated they are. The big give away though is usually the ridiculous asking price at which point I tell that home owner to “have a nice day”, because I realize that my specialized service is not applicable in the situation.

If you have 4 to 6 months to “test” the market, by all means go ahead. I don’t think there is any real estate investor who would advise a homeowner to not attempt to get the highest amount of money for their property if they have the time.

BUT…again…The big question is, how motivated are you to sell?

If you are very motivated (need cash & have no time for whatever reason) and have come to the decision on your own that you want to sell, then chances are your friendly neighborhood real estate investor is the best person to call.
