A neighbor suggested we sell our house by
owner and save the brokerage commission.
Is this a good idea?

A. At first glance that may appear to be a
reasonable choice. However, I feel very
strongly that a Realtor will net you more
money than if you attempt the job yourself.
There are a myriad of details that accom-
pany real estate transactions and a Realtor
has been trained to handle every one of
them. Let me explain some things to
consider:
— Are you able to be at home to qualify and
show prospects your house?
— The security of having a Realtor accompany
all prospects is reassuring.
— The multiple listing service exposes your
property in ways that an owner selling
privately cannot take advantage of.
— Don't neglect additional costs incurred when
selling yourself:
— additional attorney fees
— real estate for sale and open signs
— advertising costs in newspapers for several
months.
The transferee market invariably will want to
see the 11 out of 12 homes listed through a
broker. They don't have time to read through
ads or drive every area.
One overlooked factor is that sophisticated
buyers often discount the offer by 6% and
then begin to negotiate. Where then, is the
savings to you?
A house is typically your most important asset.
I believe a Realtor can help you protect this in-
vestment with professional services to allow you
to get top dollar in the quickest time with the
fewest problems.
