Why selling on your own is possible.

Over the last week or so, since I’ve started this blog, I’ve received many e-mails inquiring about how to sell on your own. Therefore, I decided to answer some of these questions to give the readers a little more perspective to this process. This blog will also give the readers a better understanding in what No Brokers Please is trying to accomplish, for the FSBO in the NYC metro area.

Q) Isn’t selling on your own complicated?

A) No, it’s actually fairly simple. The brokers hardest thing to accomplish in real estate isn’t the selling process BUT getting those new leads of buyers and sellers to work with you. Since, you’ll be selling your property on your own, the hardest part gets eliminated from the selling equation. One advantage of selling on your own is that you can set your own showing or open house schedules. Just make sure you advertise your open house showings to maximize efficiency while minimizing the burden on your daily lifestyle.

Q) How do I get educated/qualified buyers interested in my home?

A) In today’s world, the Internet is the number one resource in real estate. By NBPNY.com banding all the For Sale by Owner (FSBO) listings together per area (NYC, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island), the FSBO will gain market power and be able to utilize the advantages that larger real estate companies employ.

Q) Don’t I need any kind of specialized training?

A) Training, if any, is very basic and certainly doesn’t coach or train brokers on how to service the sellers needs properly. It’s more gauged on how to use the computer system and to generate more business. In fact, most brokers are just dropped into the marketplace to either sink or swim. As a member of No Brokers Please, you’ll have full access to professional coaching throughout your selling process, simplifying each step to give you a better understanding in what needs to be done to maximize results.

Q) Don’t I need a broker to market or “push” my property?

A) Today, over 90% of all buyers use the Internet to research and pre-shop properties. So, by having a centralized marketing platform (NBPNY.com), proper pricing and a great presentation, you’ll to be able to attract a multiple amount of qualified buyers needed to sell your property.

If your motivated to save a broker’s 6% commission and are willing to put some time and effort in; then showing your property, managing your listing and communicating directly with the buyer is a well worth investment.
