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 property compare to others like it in the Whistler real estate market?"
"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 property is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your property is nothing like selling a car. Every property is different, and every buyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value?
Almost all properties 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 property for sale, marketing it locally in the Whistler real estate market and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork 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 property, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your property, 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 Whistler real estate professional REALTOR®, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached.
