If you want to save a great deal of time and especially the money then you can be your own real estate agent. Yes, you can DIY some realtor work first-hand. Here’s a list of things you can do-it-yourself instead of your realtor and see how it works for your home you want to sell:
DIY CMA
DIY CMA stands for do-it-yourself comparative-market-analysis. This kind of analysis isn’t a rocket science, so give it a try. Evaluate all homes, more or less comparable houses that have been recently sold near you. What you will get as a result is an invaluable piece of information regarding the most suitable price.
DIY Marketing
When the time comes to sell your home it will come down to marketing your home the right way. Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune to promote your house to get the most preferred price. Also, you don’t have to be a marketing guru to accomplish your goals. A couple of quality photos shared online can surprise you with the number of potential buyers who will dial your number.
DIY Home Showings
Who knows your house better than yourself? A homeowner is the best person to do some home showings to the potential buyers. So, do your homework properly. Prepare yourself to be patient and address all buyers’ questions the right way. Investing in property flyers, you can share with your buyers, is also a great DIY strategy.
DIY All the Negotiations
It’s your home you’re selling. At the end of the day, your realtor would have to either inform you about or include in the negotiation process. So, why bother and complicate things when you can manage your own negotiations from the beginning to the end of sales. You will decide which negotiation strategies and the lowest prices are acceptable.
DIY the Deal
It’s your call. You are the one to make the final decision whether or not you’re going to sell your home. The heavy burden is on your shoulders alone, but you will be in full control of all the things that matter for your successful home sale. You can hire a lawyer to do all the paperwork, but you should discuss the most important details with a buyer directly, such as the most suitable date and a decision who and who will cover the closing costs.
DIY all the Realtor Work, or just the things you feel comfortable with
The great thing about the DIY approach in this field is that you are free to determine to which extent you will be on your own. You don’t have to be a DIY realtor at all cost and for all the work required. In order to increase the chances of selling your home for the right price choose the actions that are a perfect DIY match. Coming up with a combination of DIY and a realtor’s work can easily turn out to be a win-win you have been hoping to achieve.
