How to Sell Your Home Without an Agent

If you’ve tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the “For Sale by Owner” sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren’t from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

But don’t give up.You’ll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process. See what it takes to decide if it’s right for you.
==================================================

1. Research the MLS.
Do your research and find a few websites that allow you to post your home for sale online. Websites like this typically charge a flat rate, plus the cost of additional services.

2. Check the competition.
Get a pulse on your local real estate market. How much are homes selling for in your area? How do these homes compare to yours?

3. Choose your list price.
Real estate agents run a comparative market analysis (also known as comps) when determining a home’s list price. When in doubt, start with a lower asking price. Overpricing by $10,000 can cause it to sit on the market and ultimately force you to sell for less than if you had priced it right initially.

4. Prepare & stage.
Prepare your home for market. Deep clean every surface inside and out. Replace broken tiles, fix leaky faucets, and clean the gutters.

5. Take listing photos.
Hire a professional to take your listing photos. A Redfin study found homes with professional photos sold for $3,400–$11,200 more than homes without professional photos.

6. List it on the MLS.
List your home with an MLS service. Pay additional fees for the yard sign, more than one listing photo, open house signs, and listing flyers. Without these basic necessities, you’ll have a hard time getting people to look at your listing — let alone make an offer. If you list with Redfin, you’ll get all the essentials to sell your home, plus exclusive services you can’t get anywhere else — like premium placement on the web and emails sent to thousands of buyers searching for homes like yours.

7. Be available.
Get ready to answer questions and show your home to potential buyers at a moment’s notice. Consider taking time off work so you don’t miss the opportunity to make a sale.

8. Hire an attorney.
Real estate agents take care of all of the contracts, paperwork, and fine print of a home sale transaction. Without the assistance of an agent, you should find a real estate attorney to mind the details of your home sale. Your attorney will work up a purchase and sale agreement, help negotiate the terms of the contract, and review related paperwork and loan agreements.

9. Wait for the right offer…
Skilled listing agents find highly qualified buyers to sell your home for the most money. Selling your home without an agent means you’ll need to do the extra work to find the right buyer. If your home is priced right, an offer will typically come through in 30–45 days.
…Or lower the price.
If you don’t receive any offers, you’ll need to lower your asking price. Keep in mind that the longer your home sits on the market, the more you may end up lowering the price. Avoid price drops altogether and choose the right list price from the beginning.

10. Close the sale.
Safeguard yourself from costly consequences and ask your attorney to review your purchase and sale agreement with a fine-tooth comb. Then hire a title company to take care of the closing process. If any liens come up in your title report, work with your title agent or attorney to resolve them and successfully close the sale.

My family and I were looking to find a bigger house and sell our current one. We started working with The Kellar Lawrence Team due to a recommendation from a friend. We saw a house that we really liked and were ready to buy it. We knew we had to sell our current house first. Kellar Lawrence guaranteed the sale of our home so we could go forward with the purchase and not risk loosing it. What a relief it is that we will not get stuck with two house payments or be homeless. His team approach is also wonderful. They always gave us great professional service and always had time for us. Many thanks to everyone on the team.

5 years after purchasing a house, we made a decision to move out of state for work purposes. That is when our housing nightmare started. We went through multiple real estate agencies with no luck. Someone recommended Kellar Lawrence. They made some suggestions for getting the house ready. After several showings, they had a buyer for our house. The closing process went without a glitch. By that time we were so confident in their skills that we made an offer on a house in our new location. We cannot say enough about Kellar and his team. They are true professionals in actions, not just words.

We want to thank you for your very good work in selling our two properties in South Carolina. There is always a gamble when you sell, but with your knowledge of the market conditions, you were able to keep the offers high and the sales swift The first property in Waterloo sold for 98% of the listing price in 14 days and the second one in Greenwood sold for 97% of the asking price in 11 days. You can't ask for more than that. You hear of how bad the market is now and you were able to overcome that and get us rapid sales at very good returns. In addition to that, you were very helpful when we purchased the lots we built on 3 1/2 years ago. You provided us with the information and assistance we needed to complete the purchase before we moved to South Carolina. We will always recommend you to anyone wishing to purchase or sell in the Greenwood market.
