Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...


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 Grand Rapids, Forest Hills and Ada?" 

"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 Realtor? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a Realtor, 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 Realtor. 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 Grand Rapids, Forest Hills and Ada 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 Grand Rapids, Forest Hills and Ada Realtor, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and I will quickly get back to you... 

Don't price your home by yourself! It's my job to analyze the Grand Rapids, Forest Hills and Ada market and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Real Estate Tips
Pricing >Sellers Beware

Here is a scenario for sellers to avoid. You contact a real estate agent to list your home and the agent suggests that you might get more for your house than comparable homes on the market. The agent assures you that it only takes finding one person who is willing to pay your price!

Some agents approach a listing appointment as if they are bidding for your home. The unfortunate result is that you start out with an unrealistic opinion of your home's value. There is often a strong temptation to work with a person who says what you want to hear. An experienced, reputable real estate agent will back up their opinion of your home's value with hard data. The agent should give you information about the listing price of homes that are currently on the market, and recent selling prices of similar properties in your immediate area.

Even the most heroic marketing efforts won't work on a property that is obviously overpriced, (except in the most exaggerated of seller's markets.) Even if you find a buyer who is willing to pay more than your home is worth, the sale could fall apart when the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price. Listen to everything, but be careful!
