For Sale By Owner

Today Homeowners are opting to sell their homes on their own in the hope to reduce their costs. The FSBO (For Sale By Owner) method can potentially save the Homeowner substantially. Many FSBO Sellers feel that they have more control in the process of selling their home since they essentially make the rules.

FSBO has a website that the Homeowner can utilize to get their home “out there” for people to see www.fsbo.com with the ability to list on a Multiple Listing Service for a flat fee. The internet is the most widely used tool today to do a good deal of the legwork when searching for a home.

An Appraisal is the best way to assist the Homeowner in determining what Listing Price for the home is appropriate. These Appraisals are called Listing Appraisals. The Appraiser comes to your home to do the interior and exterior inspection portion of the process. This involves measuring the house and any amenities on the property. A floor plan is made and questions are asked to enable the Appraiser to get the most pertinent information for the analysis.

The Appraiser then inspects the sales comparables from the exterior that he/she chose during the due diligence performed prior to the inspection. The data is then compiled and analyzed to develop an opinion of value and the report is written and emailed to the Homeowner.
