There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. 


Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

Make sure you are prepared to answer the following at a minimum. 

1. How does your home compare to others like it in Fallbrook, Bonsall and Oceanside? 

2. How did you determine the fair market value of this property? 

3. What about financing? Can you help? This can be a dangerous scenario if you decide to "take back paper"

4. If the buyer makes an offer, who will draw up the paperwork? 

5. Why aren't you using a REALTORŪ? A buyer may think that there is something wrong with the property, or you wanted too much money. 

6. Most buyers will assume that since you aren't working with a Realtor, they can take the "fee" right off the top. 

7. You are letting strangers into your home that have not been prequalified through a Realtor. Are you sure that they are well intentioned? Would you pick up one of these strangers off the road? 

8. Appearances can be deceiving. If someone pulls up in a fancy car, with nice clothes, don't just assume that they have the money to buy your home. They may be loaded up with credit card debt.  

9. All the paperwork must be in order, and California law requires you to disclose defects in your property or you can be sued for misrepresentation, or worse yet - fraud. 

10. There are acceptable timetables for the various details within the transaction. Do you know what they are? 

11. Are you ready to stop what you're doing at anytime to show your home? Is someone available to show your home from 9am to 9pm?  

12. Are you familiar with advertising strategies to obtain the most interested buyers for your home? 

13. Do you know how to "stage" your home for sale? 

14. How can you get feedback from the buyers who did not make an offer on your home without sounding like you're desperate for a sale? How would you know if all it took to get a sale was addressing an objection that you will most likely never find out about? 

15. Can you be impartial when you need to be? 

If you are comfortable with your knowledge of the above, then think about some other important things to be aware of, like: 

1. What is the difference between a prequalification and a pre-approval? 

2. Do the buyers need to sell their home first? Be careful. They may not tell you...You will need to research this one thoroughly. 

3. Do you know enough "legalese" so that you won't be beholden to an offer if a better one comes in later? 

4. Are you comfortable with your knowledge of all of the state mandated forms that you must provide to the buyer? 

5. Do you know the "best" way to show your home? There is only one effective and proven method. 

6. Do you have a fact sheet available for your home, and are you "protected legally" if you make a mistake? 

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 the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a REALTORŪ. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Fallbrook, Bonsall and Oceanside and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let us 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 and let you know what we feel it is worth. We can also show you how we would market your property. It's free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and we will quickly get back to you...

Real Estate Tips
Relocation >School Districts

The quality of the school district is a most important determinant of the market value of a house. For buyers with children, the quality of the local school system may be as critical to their decision as the appeal of the house.

The desire for a quality education usually causes parents who are in the market for a home to ask questions about the local school district. What is the annual expenditure per pupil and the average class size? Are special programs available? What percentage of high school graduates go on to college? What is the physical condition of the schools and the district's record in handling school bond proposals? Parents may also want to know the school board's educational philosophy.

A professional real estate agent has the experience and knowledge to help you choose the right community for your family.
