Durham Region For Sale By Owner Private Real Estate Sales

We have been notified of another successful sale by a private seller on our HomesByOwner of Durham Region website. Needless to say, they are estatic that they saved $26,000 in real estate agents fees.

Apparently they were listed with a Durham Region realtor for 4 months. The agent refused to do any open houses and the real estate owner never did see any advertising. They tried on a number of occassions to cancel their listing, however were not successful.

The property owner contacted us a few weeks ago and wanted to list on our website for private sales. We met with them, took photos and gathered information and provided them with our 'Peace of Mind' Private Sale Guide.

The first week they were advertised on the Durham Region HomesByOwner.com website they had 8 showings. Apparently this was more than when they were listed with the real estate agent for 4 months.

On the second weekend they had an open house. Although the weather was bad on the Sunday, there were 5 potential buyers view their home.

During the course of having their property privately listed on our FSBO website, they were contacted by a number of real estate agents. They were told how private home sales did not sell for as much as when listed with a real estate company. Some agents tried to scare them by stating that if they did not complete the paperwork correctly, they could be sued. Another one brought up the security issue.

After 20 days on the HomesByOwner.com For Sale By Owner website, the owner was presented with an offer for $2,000 less than the asking price. They had listed it for $5,000 more than when listed with the real estate agent. Like we said earlier, they are estatic they saved $26,000 in realtor fees.

Deciding to sell your home is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your lifetime. It could be your first home or possibly you raised your children here. The family getting together for holidays has created thousands of memories. Regardless of the reason to move, getting your home ready for sale is very important. What you do will determine how quickly it sells and how much money it will sell for. 

Starting from the outside of your home will determine the first impression prospective buyers have as they drive up to it. Making sure to mow the lawn, trim the hedges and shrubs, plant flowers and remove all the weeds. If you are going through a dry spell, water the lawn on a regular basis so it looks lush and green. In the winter time, make sure all snow and ice is removed.  Check the shutters and garage door as they might need some paint touchup. Make sure all windows are clean and if they have screens that are damaged, repair or replace them. You only have one chance to make a first good impression, so make sure the exterior is as close to perfect as possible. What buyers see here will determine whether they will want to take the next step.

But don't stop here. When a buyer steps inside, you have to exhibit the same warmth as you did outside. The first place to start is to remove all clutter. If necessary, rent a storage space. It will be some of the best money you will spend. Pay attention to keeping indoor plants looking healthy, pet beds and litter boxes clean, garage containers empty and fish tanks clean. If closets and cupboards are packed full, move some of the items to your storage area. If you have carpeting, a cleaning might be in order. Hardwood floors should be cleaned and polished. Bathrooms should sparkle as this is where a lot of people judge how the home is maintained. Don't forget the garage and storage rooms. If they are packed, move some items to your storage space.

Now is your chance to do any repairs necessary. Some buyers use these to reduce the price of the home. You can touch up paint and wallpaper, repair damage to walls, tighten doorknobs, oil squeaky doors, repair leaky plumbing and re-caulk around bathtubs and sinks. Check your furnace, air conditioner, humidifier and all other appliances to insure they are in good working condition. What might cost you $100 to repair could become a $1,000 issue when a buyer decides to make an offer.

Using the services of a home stager and professional home inspector at the start could increase the selling price of your home by thousands of dollars. Having a trained professional's opinion will allow you to correct anything that could become a roadblock later. It can also make the difference between selling in a few weeks compared to a few months.

HomesByOwner of Durham Region provides peace of mind when selling real estate privately.

The biggest fear real estate owners have when selling private is completing the paperwork. The Durham Region HomesByOwner.com office has the solution to give them 'peace of mind'.

Trying to complete an Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the necessary paperwork that follows should not even be a concern. This is because you don't have to do it. This is a job you leave to your real estate lawyer. The task is now out of your hands.

In private sales, one of two scenarios can take place. In some situations the buyer will go to their lawyer who will draw up an offer. They will deliver it to the seller who will then have their lawyer review it. Since it was initially drafted by a professional, no doubt everything will be in place.

The buyer and seller might sit at the kitchen table and discuss the details of the sale. They will agree on a price, closing date and the rest of the details that will make up an agreement. As part of our marketing packages for FSBO sellers on our For Sale By Owner website, we supply a form to record all the information that a lawyer will require in order to complete an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

All the buyer and  seller have to do is fill in the necessary information and take it to their real estate lawyer. The form is very easy to understand and will provide your legal professional everything they need.

Both the buyer and seller can use the same real estate lawyer. They will explain what is involved.

How effective is HomesByOwner of Durham Region? Here is a good example of an Oshawa private real estate listing.

Yesterday I listed a For Sale By Owner home. Did the routine. I took photos and gathered the information about the property. From there I loaded everything on the Durham Region FSBO website.

This morning I delivered feature sheets and directional signs to the private seller. I placed the signs on the street corner.

Tonight at 7 o'clock, the home owner called and told me they had 3 showings this afternoon. One of the potential buyers became aware of the home for sale by the directional signs.

This is proof that the HomesByOwner.com solution for private sales works. And at a price that cannot be matched.
