There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale"
Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware.
Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer
knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:
"How does your home compare to others like it in
Englewood Cliffs, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Alpine, and Cresskill?"
"How did you determine the fair market value of this
property?"
"What about financing? Can you help?"
"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?"
"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there
something wrong with the property?"
"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take
their fee right off the top, right?"
Selling your home is one of the most important financial
transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your
home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every
homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine
the real market value?
Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As
a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with
all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention
preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Englewood Cliffs,
Tenafly, Fort Lee, Alpine, and Cresskill and even nationally, and
guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and
closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before
pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely
costly.
Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing
as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good
idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this
one."
If you must sell your own home, at least let me give you
a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and
I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel
it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Englewood
Cliffs, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Alpine, and Cresskill real estate agent, how
I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached.
