Albuquerque For Sale By Owner Headaches

So you are thinking about a For Sale by Owner, FSBO.  Below are some of the challenges you may face.

  • Preparing All The Paperwork
  • Staying in compliance with the laws
  • Pricing your home inappropriately
  • Buyers want the price reduced by the commission savings
  • Sellers must have a comprehensive marketing plan
  • Understanding everything about the home selling process
  • Allowing strangers in your home
  • Strangers showing up at all hours of the day
  • Missed opportunities when away from home
  • Sellers must negotiate all the terms and conditions with potential buyers
  • Potential buyers do not like negotiating with home owners
  • Inability to qualify potential buyers
  • Most buyers are utilizing the services of a real estate agent
  • Inconvenience of dealing with window shoppers

Most home buyers are working with a real estate agent.  Potenial homebuyers will ask their Realtor about buying your house.  The buyer’s real estate agent will call you to find out about your house.  Expect the buyer’s agent to ask if you will pay a real estate commission.  If you want to sell your home, there is a good chance you will pay a real estate commission to the buyer’s agent.  The buyer will have professional representation and you will not have professional representation.  How much do you really think your are saving with a for sale by owner?
