If you are trying to sell your home on your own, then likely you have mostly received the following calls:
- calls from "special investors"
- calls from real estate professionals
- ridiculously low offers
Why are you not receiving genuine buyer's calls with normal offers?
Today's buyers in Middlesex County are mostly first time home buyers. First time home buyers typically are not conformable enough to deal directly with a Seller and want representation from a licensed agent. Also the perception from most FTHBs is that FSBOs overprice their home and/or may have something to hide. Is it true in your case? Most likely not...You could be giving your home away, it does not matter!! Perception is stronger and will mostly always win...
So what can you do?
First understand and accept those business facts, second work around them to reach your goal.
The first part is yours to complete, the second part is where we can help each others.
A good way is to advertise together through the creation of a website dedicated to the marketing of your home.
Example: http://www.121renaissance.com
We can create the same website with your home’s pictures, your description, your name, your phone number and a website name that matches your home's address ( www. 123 mainstreet.com).
Click on the "Website" tab, it is directing potential buyers to our main website.
Do you see the win-win situation now? If potential buyers are willing to deal directly with you, then they contact you directly, however if they are not willing, they can contact us and we can educate them, go through the pre-qualification process and bring their offers to you.
Of course in that case you have to be willing to work with a real estate agent.
We will submit the new site to search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. We will also do some advertising for you (Backpage, Craigslist...), again including one link to our website for a win-win...
What I am offering is costly to us (we use Postlet paid version and one year domain hosting for your URL) and time consuming, so please only proceed if you are really motivated about marketing this additional tool (website) on your side as well and would accept to work with a realtor if we bring you a buyer.
Next step forward is to email us.
