Why use us to sell your house? You get a full service local agent at a 1.4% listing fee. The co-operating seller's agent gets 2.5%, so your total out of pocket is 3.9%. Compare this to the 6% charged by other full service brokers. On a 400,000 house your total costs would be $15,600 instead of $24,000 making for a savings of $8,400.
If you really want to sell your home, listing it on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is very essential. However, paying 6% is optional. For a total MLS listing fee of just 1.4% of the selling price to be paid at closing “Sacramento Sell A House Fast” will place your home on the local MLS, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Homes.com, Yahoo.com and hundreds of other websites presenting you with maximum exposure from a Full Service Real Estate Company. If your home does not sell you pay Zero!
FSBO's don't work! Unfortunately for sale by owners don't attract the quality (or really any) buyers and the seller will end up wasting a lot of time and effort. Or even worse, the seller may get a below market offer and take it, which is less than what he would have received if the house was marketed to the full potential pool of buyers out there.
The guy and gals actually coming to buy your property meet their real estate agent at your house after they get off work. The agent has access to the lockbox and they enter the property to view it at a time which it is convenient for you not to be home. (FYI: it doesn't help anything for you to be there during a showing, most potential home buyers prefer that the owner is not there). What led them to your house in the first place? The 'MLS'. That is the multiple listing service. That is what sells a house, full stop, end of story, enough said. If you want potential buyers, your house needs to be in the MLS.
Does the listing agent 'sell' the house. Do you need a listing agent with a lot of clients in your houses area to get top dollar? No, it is the multiple listing service that brings in the buyers with the buyer's agent to view the property. They then write an offer and submit it to your agent. Your agent presents the offer to you. That is the process.
Generally the maximum amount you can hope to get for your house is the value it will appraise for. This is because lenders will only loan on a house priced at or below the appraised value, so that would be our goal, to get a buyer that will make an offer that the house will appraise for!
