There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. 

Attention: Bergen County For Sale By Owners (FSBO's): If you think you are saving money by FSBOing your home - you could BE MAKING A VERY COSTLY MISTAKE! Statistics show only approximately 12% of all homes sold are sold by by "For Sale By Owners".  

Top 4 mistakes Bergen County FSBO's might be making: 

RISK 1 – Your home may be priced incorrectly. An experienced Bergen County REALTOR like Jeana Cowie can price your home to sell at the HIGHEST PRICE possible, even if a commission is involved.
RISK 2 – You may be wasting your money on ineffective marketing. Proven & effective advertising will be continuously offered to maximize buyer draw to your home UNTIL IT SELLS.
RISK 3 – You may be wasting your time with non-qualified buyers . REALTORS only show homes to pre-qualified buyers!
RISK 4 – You may not be disclosing enough. Jeana Cowie has personally attended the home inspections of homes she's sold. This is over 600+ home inspections & is invaluable information to home sellers. This will help you get best advice on how to deal with any known problems with your home.  

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to others like it in Paramus, Oradell and Ridgewood?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Paramus, Oradell and Ridgewood and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one."
