Durham Region For Sale By Owner Private Real Estate Sales

We are writing this for those that are presently selling their real estate For Sale By Owner or those that are considering the option. Regardless, there are a lot of property owners that want to sell using a 'no commission' system.

Let's start with the person that goes to the hardware store, buys an orange 'House For Sale' sign, writes their phone number on it and places it on their lawn. Then they sit back and wait. In this case they might get some calls from buyers, however most of them will come from real estate agents. This is all the seller can expect to get from this form of promotion. 

If the property is off the beaten path, placing some directional signs will increase traffic flow. Distributing some feature sheets through the neighbourhood might create some interest. Hosting an open house on the weekend will introduce some potential buyers. For those that run an ad in the local paper, they might some receive calls.

The point here is that when selling privately, you can expect to reap what you sow. You need to step in the shoes of a salesperson and do their job. Simply put, if you want to be successful as a private sale, you have to market your property the way you would expect a real estate agent to do it.

At HomesByOwner of Durham Region, we supply real estate owners selling privately the tools they need to complete their own sale. These include:

• a sign package.
• their own 'direct' web address.
• a toll free property information hotline.
• unlimited colour feature sheets.

• plus more.   

As you can see, we provide all the tools necessary to promote private sales. This system has been well thought out and proven itself over time.

The Durham Region HomesByOwner.com territory is operated by an ex-realtor that sold over 700 homes in a 15 year period. Who better than someone that has 'been there, done that' to help you sell privately.

All this being said, the results you achieve selling your own home will depend on your efforts. We give you the tools and all the support you need. If you sit back and do nothing, don't be surprised if you get nothing in return.
