Even if a simple sign in your yard does invite a buyer to knock on your door, how will you answer the following questions?
• “How does your home compare to others like it in Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan’s Island?”
• “How did you determine the fair market value (price) 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 REALTOR®? Is there something wrong with the property?”
• “Since you aren't using a REALTOR®, 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. 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 what to ask?
Almost all homes are sold using a REALTOR®, like Charleston Fine Homes. As top real estate professionals, we help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. We help you prepare your home for sale, marketing it locally, even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of closing. We’ll help you avoid costly errors, and we can offer a program that will best utilize our combined efforts.
What does FSBO mean to Buyers?
Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that “For Sale By Owner” sign sounds like a good idea, it usually means something else to buyers: “Try to steal this one.”
If you must sell your own home, at least allow us to give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home and we'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis(CMA). We’ll let you know what we think is the true value of your home. We'll also describe – as experienced Charleston metro area REALTORS® -- how we would market your property.
