“For Sale By Owner” homes very often overpriced
No-one denies that, on occasion, you can negotiate directly with the sellers and save money. However, most buyers assume that if they buy directly from an owner they will get a lower price. Since the owners wouldn’t have to pay a commission, they could pass along their savings to the buyers. But why would they want to? Most sellers don’t take on the burden and expense of selling their own home so they can give buyers a better price. They do it to pocket more money for themselves. Rockford real estate sellers are no different!
In fact, as often as not, people selling their own homes overprice them. They’re hoping to find some “bargain-hunting” buyers who will be hoodwinked into believing they are saving money because there’s no agent involved. In addition, even if the home appears to be priced right, it may suffer from hidden defects. Buyers moving in from out of town to Rockford Illinois are the most vulnerable to assessing the value of For Sale By Owners. The home may be a steal compared to house prices in their home town, but may not be a good deal here in Rockford Illinois.
How do you buy a For Sale By Owner without getting hurt? Use a Realtor! Once you request a FREE “Relocation to Rockford Illinois” relocation package (click on link above) a top Rockford Real Estate agent will contact you and send you information on homes in Rockford Illinois. He or she will also be able to show you homes that are not listed and help you negotiate a great deal on any home, whether the home is traditionally listed or listed by an individual owner.
Choose a real estate agent with experience to help you!
Many buyers start their Rockford Illinois home search randomly. They see a home listed on a Rockford Real Estate site and in their initial excitement call the listing agent. Firstly, that agent is already working for the seller and cannot represent the buyer’s best interests. Secondly, you have no idea about the agent other than the fact that they have the listing. Real estate sales follow the same 80-20 rule found in most fields. Eighty percent of the agents do 20 percent of the business, and the top 20 percent of the agents do 80 percent of the business. You need a Rockford Real Estate agent with a proven track record of not just sales, but of helping buyers. Rockford Real Estate agents referred by New Quest have experience in helping buyers relocating to Rockford buy a home for the right price!
