Advantages of Selling Your Home Yourself in Fort Wayne

Most people think you need an agent to sell your home, but we want to prove otherwise. We want to share with you the advantages of selling your home yourself!

The first one might be a bit obvious, but….

NO COMMISSIONS! 

One advantage of selling your home yourself in Fort Wayne is a no brainer. Real estate agents can charge 6%+ upon the sale of your home, even if you end up selling the home yourself. When you sell your home directly, you could save thousands by eliminating not only commissions but also  agent fees, administrative fees, marketing fees, photography costs, etc, etc.

Advertising and showing your home will be your job, but when you are moving into a new house, having that additional cash can save you a ton of stress! Life happens, and when you are moving there are always additional costs that arise. Keeping some hard earned money in your pocket will make everything go smoother.

You Run The Show

Another advantage of selling your home yourself in Fort Wayne is that you are in control. You don’t want showings this Saturday? Ok, don’t schedule any. When you are working with an agent, often times they will be the one calling the shots. Obviously you are the owner and they cannot tell you what to do, but if you hire an agent to sell your home, (hopefully) they will do their job and bring lots of people to see it.

This means weekend showings where you will be asked to leave, evening showings, etc. All of these can occur at the drop of a hat, so you will have to keep your home in tip-top shape while it is on the market.

Your Terms, Your Way

The third advantage of selling your home yourself in Fort Wayne is that there is no middle man. A real estate agent in Fort Wayne will be wanting to get the highest priced sale of your home they can. It means more money for them. This may not always be in your best interest:  They may stand firm on the price in situations where you might be open to negotiation. Even if you are eager to sell, an agent is always going to be trying to make as much as possible. Will they really have your best interest at heart when so much money is laying on the table?

Not to mention, all of the dates are decided by you. When the new homeowners can move in, when you have to be out, when you close, etc.. You can set the terms as to what you will fix, what you won’t, and how much you are willing to spend to fix things. When you choose to sell on your own, you call the shots when it comes to the contract, without any influence from an agent who may only have their best interest in mind.

Few Cash Sales Fall Through

The next advantage of selling your home yourself in Fort Wayne: As you may have heard often in real estate, “cash is king.” You will save ample time and money if you are able to find a cash buyer for your home.  Closings typically take only a couple weeks as opposed to a couple of months when you work with a bank. You won’t be waiting for your buyer to secure financing. A cash buyer will pay directly, without any red-tape from the banks. These deals rarely fall through and you end up saving a fortune on repairs, staging, and other sales related expenses.

Selling your home yourself will save you time which equates to money saved. Think about all the extra cash you will save on taxes, utilities, insurance and the mortgage by selling your home faster! You may end up with more money in the long run from a cash offer because all of the fees, commissions and other costs are much lower or eliminated all together.  Having your home on the market is stressful. (imagine people driving by constantly some even peeking in your windows! It happens!)
