You're probably asking yourself - why would a professional real estate agent list your home on my website at no cost to you? I do it for a number of reasons:
1) Inventory - Listing your home on my website provides the large buyer population with increased exposure to additional homes on the market - "For Sale By Owner" homes. So, if your home isn't listed in inventory, a buyer may never see it and you may be losing out on a potential sale.
2) Internet popularity - According to statistics, nearly 70% of all homebuyers start their home search on the internet. www.YourAnnapolisHome.com is a national website that attracts thousands and thousands of unique visitors each month. I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose out on this visibility your home could be getting?
3) Increased Exposure - Listing your home on this website attracts more visitors to the site and, therefore, your home gets increased exposure to home buyers searching for a home.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET STARTED?
It's very simple and incredibly easy - Send me an email at dnoce@comcast.net and include 6 to 12 digital photos of your home in jpeg format. Include the property address and a brief description of your home, including any upgrades or special features that are considered selling points. Please include a phone number where you can be reached should I have any questions. I do the rest. Your home will appear on my site within 24 hours!!
What if I don't have a digital camera or digital photos to send? In this case, call me or email me and we'll set up an appointment for me to come over and take photos of your home. Taking photos of your home will take me no more than 30 minutes.
WHAT ELSE WILL I DO FOR YOU?
In addition to listing your home on my website at no charge, I will also provide you with tips on advertising, guidance on how and when to show your home and a market evaluation of real estate activity in your neighborhood.
I wish any homeowner great success in deciding to sell your home on your own. Being in the business, I know how difficult the entire home buying and home selling process can be! If for some reason you find that you want to hire a professional real estate agent, all I ask in return is the opportunity to be your listing agent. I am willing, eager and excited to help you - after all, I WILL WORK TWICE AS HARD FOR YOU!!
OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOUR ARE SELLING ON YOUR OWN
Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare to others like it in your neighborhood?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?"
"What about financing? Can you help?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks - have answers to the questions above. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value?
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one."
