Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself?

Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...

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

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 Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden?" 

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

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

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

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

"Since you aren't using a Realtor, 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 Realtor. As top real estate professionals, it's our teams 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 Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden 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." 

How would you like to put your home on our Featured Homes Section with lots of photos? If we produce a buyer you can pay our fee at the closing. If you find your own buyer you don't owe us anything. Call us for a time to get together at your house.  

If you must sell your own home, at least let our marketing team give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, & we'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what the current market value. We'll also describe, as experienced, top Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden Realtors, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and we will quickly get back to you...

Real Estate Tips

Titles >Do You Really Need Title Insurance

When a home is purchased, title insurance is one of the closing cost items on the closing statement. This insurance protects the buyer from defects in the title that are not discovered until after the closing. There are two kinds of title insurance--coverage that protects the lender for the balance of the mortgage if the buyers have a loan, and coverage that protects the buyers' equity in the property.

It is prudent to purchase owners' coverage because most of the title problems that arise after a closing are not from a sloppy title search, but are the result of inaccurate information in the public records. The ownership chain goes back a long way, and fraud or misrepresentation anywhere in the chain could mean big problems. Title insurance will protect you if a wife or husband did not properly sign off on the ownership papers or if the property was sold as part of an estate that was later disputed. Most people do not have to deal with the title insurance company after the closing, but this coverage could save your investment if a problem arises.
