10 (Whoops - 11) Reasons to use a REALTOR from FRANCIS REAL ESTATE:         

Selling your own home.  It’s not as easy as you think. . .                                                                                

1)    You’re asking how much?... Without the experience of a skilled negotiator, buyer and seller may not know when to accept or pullout of an offer.  Negotiations on price and other related bargaining matters can put you and all parties involved in a tense situation.  Leave it to a professional.

2)    Wasting Time and Compromising Safety.  “For Sale by Owner” ads and signs invite everyone in your home without the critical screening.  Unqualified buyers can waste your time, not to mention the dangers of unscreened prospects.  Don’t risk it!

3)    Buyers are often uncomfortable when having to negotiate directly with homeowners.  Buyers want to feel good about their home purchasing decision.  It is much easier to speak frankly with a REALTOR from Francis Real Estate than to risk insulting a sensitive owner.

4)    Getting Top Dollar!  Current market trends are just one aspect of determining an asking price.  Generally speaking, homeowners tend to view their home with biased opinions, thus, preventing an honest assessment of their property.

5)    Oh, did I mention financing?  Securing a loan, locking in rates, points, term, type of mortgages, etc. Should be left to the professionals.  Rest assured that your REALTOR from Francis Real Estate has your best interest at hand.

6)    Experience makes the difference.  Simply not knowing ‘how’ or ‘why’ can create a lot of unnecessary work, which often leads to costly mistakes.  Avoid the hassle and headaches.  Use a professional REALTOR from Francis Real Estate.

7)    Getting the word out.  “For Sale by Owner” ads seldom get preferred placement in local newspapers and end up costing owners significantly more than REALTOR’s from Francis Real Estate who get discounts for frequent placements.

8)    Do you have all the right paperwork and forms to protect you legally?  Knowing What documents and How to complete them is critical.  You can not afford mis-filed or incomplete documentation when selling a home.  Closing details, title searches can be a nightmare for the inexperienced seller.  Why risk it?

9)    The longer your home stays on the market, the harder it is to sell by anyone!  A home that does not sell in a reasonable length of time raises a red flag in any prospects minds.  Often the additional time you spend trying to sell your own home can create additional market objections for the REALTOR.  Choose a REALTOR from Francis Real Estate from the start!

10)    Are you sure you want to gamble?  When selling your home you do not need surprises like a failed inspection, erroneous survey, miscalculated associated costs.  Your home is worth much too much to risk.  Bet on a professional REALTOR from Francis Real Estate to get the job done.

11)    Best advice, forget about selling your home yourself!  Doesn’t it seem logical to turn to a professional REALTOR from Francis Real Estate to help you sell your home?  Take your time and choose a good one, then let the REALTORS from Francis Real Estate take charge.
