REALTOR
FOR SALE BY OWNER
Among the multitude o f
real estate ads. you occasion
ally see one labeled, “For Sale
By Owner.” These are usually
first-time sellers who assume
the transaction will be a piece
o f profitable cake by sav ing
the real estate commission.
Not so!
Approximately 80 percent
o f all homes are sold through
real estate agencies. A signifi
cant portion o f the homes not
sold professionally are sold to
family members, co-workers,
neighbors or friends.
Surveys show that 45 per-
S Y K E S
cent o f sellers who did sell
on their own. would hire an
agency next time around. The
major problems cited were:
getting the right price, attract
ing buyers, having enough
time to devote to the sale,
understanding and perform
ing the paperwork, selling
in the length o f time planned
and helping the buyer obtain
financing. Some o f real estate
agencies' most satisfied cus
tomers are those how have
tried and failed to sell their
homes without professional
help.
