If you have made the decision to sell your home privately, without the help of a real estate broker, it's more than likely because you wanted to keep the money for yourself. Research has shown that selling privately can save you almost or more than 9,000 dollars during the home selling process however, that shouldn't keep you from using one though.

An experienced real estate agent costs a lot because they have experience in this field and have more potential procure a good price. An agent also wins a network by being able to reach people who are seeking a house or can assist in selling one. Selling a home privately will also affect the marketing process since if you make the choice to sell your home without the help an agent it's not likely that you will be able to access to the Multiple Listing Services a comprehensive database filled with house listings given out to home buyers.

You might need to find the buyers through an alternative means like having showings or advertising in the newspaper. Furthermore, when a buyer sees that you are selling your home privately, they'll offer less money as they know you're already saving money from not hiring an agent.

Of course it's easy to understand some people don't trust someone they don't know to sell their property. Selling the home by yourself means you're in control of the dealings. You can be sure that you're always be around to answer questions or do home showings. When a mistake is made it's your mistake, and only you can take the blame - trust me, a mistake that doesn't cost will fell a lot better than one you've payed for.

When you've made a clear decision that you want to sell your home privately there are preparations you need to do like taking extra measures making sure your house is ready for the showing. Remember you'll have to compete with real estate agents as well as their clients - make sure you have a chance to stand out! Look for sites that provide a 'selling by owner' kit to get as much exposure as you can. You also need to get educated about the legal side of it including contract design which can take a lot of time so get help from an attorney and start researching way behind your selling date.

Making a private sale is complicated and some people claim that you're only sell privately if you have three free hours every day of the week. However, with a little bit of work, you'll manage to use the money for something else.
