Need A Real Estate Agent : Open House Tips For FSBO'S

? Feb. 26, 2012 - Need A Real Estate Agent

I Will Work Hard To Sell Your Home


As I look at the current market I can't help but to think about the past and how it always impacts the future. Really and truly the past strangely looks like the future. It is almost as if we are on a Merry-Go-Round that never stops. In spite of the market there is no denying the power of hard work and faith in the basic principles of how the market works and in the Lord. In theses times it is difficult to know what to do. We need to re-think the things we have been accustomed to and look to the principles of basic common sense. The more people that look at your home the higher the probability will be of selling your home.

In Real Estate there is a saying "List to Live", my saying is "don't list unless you are sure you can sell the property yourself". So for me before I list a home I must see that I can sell the home for the price of the listing. I am not counting on other agents to sell the home because in this market that is unrealistic. If you are looking for truth and honesty and want someone you can trust and has out of the box sales ability give me a call. I promise I will work hard to sell your home. (803) 553-3740.

Open House Tips for FSBO'S Doing a Open House is no different for a FSBO than for a Realtor if your intention is to attract buyers to your property. Without a doubt Saturday (2:00 to 5:00) and Sunday (2:00 to 4:00) are the best times as that is what Realtors are doing. Below are some additional tips that will be helpful to your success. Advertise your open house. Ideally you should advertise both the weekend before and the weekend of the open house. Check with the local paper to see when their ad closing deadlines are. The internet is better than local paper. Create a property summary sheet. This sheet gives prospective buyers an overview of your home. Include dimensions for each room, copies of a property survey, summaries of utility costs and property taxes, and a list of when capital items such as roofs and furnace were added. Develop a sign-in form for prospects? addresses. You?ll ideally want both phone numbers and e-mail addresses to follow up with prospective buyers. Put up signs. One or two days before the open house, place directional signs at major intersections within three to four blocks of your house. Be sure you check on anti-sign regulations in your area. Get your house ready. Remove clutter, clean your house, wash your windows, add flowers, turn on lights, open draperies and blinds, remove valuables and breakables, confine pets, turn on soft music, and set up a table for your property fact sheet near the entrance. Develop a follow-up sheet. Getting feedback on your home from prospects who attended your open house will give you a better understanding of how to make your home more appealing to buyers. In closing you have to work hard and make sure you do all of the above and if everything works out you will get a couple of interested buyers. Don't be discouraged by poor attendance; remember in advertising the basic principle. The more you advertise the more you sell; one of the few direct relationships in marketing.
