    FOR SALE BY OWNER ✓✓ 4 Characteristics Of Value Every "For Sale By Owner" Should Remember ❑ 1. Demand Demand is in the eye of the beholder. It varies from person to person. The demand for a particular piece of real estate changes as the wants of each individual change. ❑ 2. Utility In order for real estate to have value it must have usefulness or utility. Usefulness creates a desire for possession and has the power to give satisfaction. Will the typical buyer in the marketplace have their needs met by purchasing your home? ❑ 3. Scarcity In order for real estate to be of value, it must be relatively scarce. If too many homes like yours are for sale it will negatively impact the value of your home. ❑ 4. Purchasing Power Purchasing power is created by desire. Can the buyer who desires the property afford the property? The more people that can afford the property, the better. The above checklist is for informational purposes only & is not a ✓ substitute for legal, tax or other professional assistance. ✓ 5 Things Every “For Sale By Owner” Should Know About The Appraisal Of Their Home By The Buyer’s Lender ❑ 1. Most homebuyers want or need to get a loan to buy your house. Because the property is the lender’s collateral, the lender will generally require the home to be appraised. ❑ 2. The appraisal itself is an objective opinion of value. It is not an exact science. If three appraisers appraised your property, they might come up with three slightly or significantly varied value estimates.

  • Fsbo Resources & Checklist
    FSBO RESOURCES & CHECKLIST The Closing Agent (407) 425-2400 www. theclosingagent.com info@ theclosingagent.com FSBO RESOURCE & CHECKLIST An FSBO Basics Checklist Most homeowners are familiar with the term FSBO, or For Sale By owner. It’s the process of selling real estate DIY style without contracting with a real estate broker or agent for help with marketing the home and conducting the sale transaction. Owners choose FSBO in order to save money on realtor’s commissions. The savings can be substantial, even after considering expenses such as the cost of FSBO marketing, online listing charges, and attorney fees for help with the legal requirements and documentation associated with the sale. FSBO was once very popular, with a record 20% of all US real estate transactions being handled via FSBO in 1987. Numbers dropped off as the process became more complicated, but the popularity of FSBO has seen a rebound in recent years. Although numbers from the National Association of Realtors 2017 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers put FSBO sales at 8% of total sales, critics note that this does not account for the 10% of transactions that are done via flat-fee MLS. The Zillow 2017 Consumer Housing Trends Report indicates that 11% of sellers complete their sale without an agent. Why Go FSBO? The most common reason for choosing an FSBO sale is to save money on listing agent commission, which averages 4-6% based on the final selling price of the home. While this is a very good incentive, FSBO offers the homeowner several other benefits as well.

  • For Sale by Owner, Or FSBO As It Is Commonly Referred To, Involves Selling Your Home Without the Assistance of a Licensed Real Estate Agent
    FSBO….Is It Right For Me? For Sale By Owner, or FSBO as it is commonly referred to, involves selling your home without the assistance of a licensed real estate agent. The primary reason for someone to sell their home without a licensed real estate agent is to avoid paying a real estate commission. Since real estate commissions for residential property on Guam generally range from 4% to 6%, some sellers see this as an opportunity to save money, or an opportunity to reduce their asking price in hopes of being more competitive in marketing their home. But let’s take a closer look at what’s involved in a FSBO transaction and I will leave it to you as to whether or not it makes sense for your particular situation. Step 1: Pricing Your Property As the saying goes, “Information is Power”, and the more information you have about the real estate market, the better prepared you are to establish an accurate asking price. Do you have the time and ability to access the market information needed to price your property competitively, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of overpricing and not getting offers, or underpricing and selling yourself short? Do you have access to information on comparable property sales? Are you willing to spend money on an appraisal to determine a proper estimate of your property’s current value? Step 2: Marketing Your Property Once you decide on an asking price, how are you going to market the property? There are a lot of things to consider when marketing your home.
