Sell Your Property on Your Own

Category : Property

Establish a sale price. Take into consideration the amount you may owe on the mortgage or loan, the location, and the economy. Do a comparison analysis of similar homes or properties in your area.

Prepare the home or property for showing. Hire a licensed home inspector to evaluate the structure and anything that may need repair. Renew with a fresh coat of paint on the walls and trim work, especially the front entrance. Replace hardware, fixtures, flooring or appliances if needed.

Advertise in the local newspaper and front yard, including a picture of the home. The sign in your front yard should include an information tube with a flyer listing all specifics and pictures. Take names and phone numbers of all inquiries for follow-up calls.

Showcase your home like a professional by having an open house. Stage each room, removing all toys, clutter and excess furniture, providing a fresh, neat appearance.

Hire a real estate attorney to provide proper legal forms, documents, contracts and advice. Know your legal and financial obligations.
