Charlotte House Buyer saves you Real Estate Agent fees!

April 8th, 2008

In Charlotte as well as other areas Real Estate agents have been assisting in the purchase or sale of a home. I want to let homeowners know that it is possible to sell your house without the assistance of a real estate agent.

First lets go over the things agents do for sellers.

*Come with a starting point for the asking price.
*Place the house on their network for exposure to a large pool of potential buyers.
*Setup appointments.
*Prepare the paperwork.
*Negotiate the purchase price.
*Order the appraisal.
*Schedule the inspection.
*Send all the paperwork over the attorney to close.

Don’t get me wrong we don’t have anything against real estate agents, we just want you to know that you can sell your house and make the same amount or more than an agent will, which would create more negotiation room for a quick sale. We buy Charlotte houses and if you want more information on quick offers that will net you the most money, go to our website after you finish reading this post at Sell my Charlotte house without a real estate agent.

Now listen up, most of the items listed can be performed by you. You can determine the asking price by going to free sites and do a comparable search. A few sites you can go to are Zillow and ABC Real Estate, these two sites give you an idea of what to ask for your home. All you do is compare the homes that have the same things as your house like square footage, bedrooms and the basic things. You just don’t want the compared house to be more than one mile from your home. You see this tip just saved you $500 in commssions from a real estate agent.

Next, agents place listed homes on their network or catalogue to let other brokers know that your house is available. The market is so bad that realtors are now just charging a small fee, and you can place your house on the same network as a real estate agent by paying a few hundred dollars. Now this tip just saved you half of the realtors real estate commission and use some of that money to place an ad in the newspaper. There are certain strategies you will need to use to get a good response, but I won’t mentions those yet, because I really want to keep your attention.

You are just about set now, and the fun part is you just have saved yourself a bundle in real estate agent fees for something so simple you could do yourself. Alright once the buyers start calling you want to set up appointments and if the house is vacant you can place a lock box outside and tell callers to call you once they are at the property. Take their information and give them the lockbox code and have them call you when they leave. Usually only give the code out to real estate agents that call for an appointment, everyone else you would want to meet personally.

Some buyers will call and not have an agent, what you do is go through the yellow pages and find a mortgage broker that will work with what you are trying to accomplish. A good mortgage broker will save you the hassle of meeting with buyers because they will pre approve them to save you time and hassle. So in other words anybody that calls you, you need to send them over to your mortgage broker and have them call you when they are ready to buy. You don’t have time to play games, and since you want to do this on your own, you have to be able to put this thing together. Also your mortgage broker will order the appraisal and inspection to make sure your house is in sound condition and worth what you are asking.

After your buyer is approved, you have them meet with your attorney and sign the paperwork. While buyers are calling, look through the phone book and call a few closing attorneys or real estate attorneys and they will handle the paperwork for you. Once everything is in order your attorney will call you and let you know when the closing is.

This isn’t so hard is it? If you think you can’t handle the process and need more support we might be able to help or if you want a buyer that can close fast and deal with the whole process and won’t charge you a dime plus offer you the best price, then you need to visit our website at sell my house without a Charlotte Real Estate agent.
