Todos podemos solucionar nuestros propios problemas, pero, muchas veces, la solución de los mismos requiere tal dedicación y conocimientos que si queremos hacer las cosas bien, no nos queda otra que dejarnos acunar por los brazos de un profesional.
RISKS OF SELLING YOUR HOUSE ON YOUR OWN!
We all can solve our own problems but, oftentimes, solving them requires such dedication and knowledge that if we want to do things right, we have no choice but to let ourselves be guided by a professional.
If you believe that selling your house on your own will be simple and it will save you the commission of a real estate consultant, we warn you that it is not the easiest way, for the reasons we list below. Don't miss them if you want to sell your house fast!
INCORRECT PRICE OF PROPERTY
Without access to an appraisal tool and internal market data, which a real estate agent has, it is impossible for you to know what the right price for your home is. That could mean that you make it too expensive and cannot sell it, or that you make it too cheap and get less money than you should.
In addition, it is possible that whoever buys it does have an agent working for him or her, who will undoubtedly know how to get the best price for his client.
DO NOT PUBLISH PROPERLY.
If you do not know the marketing techniques necessary to advertise your home, can’t take photographs to highlight its virtues, and you lacke the contact network a real estate agent has, very few people will know that your home is for sale.
On the other hand, an agent will tell you what small details to correct to sell your house better, getting the sale faster and with a better price.
Even if you're not in a hurry you can incur expenses; many of the homes for sale are second homes from which taxes must be paid even when they are not used, or no benefits are obtained from them.
DOCUMENT DRAFTING WITHOUT LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.
To put a house for sale you have to know legal issues and contracts. Without an agent, you will be responsible for everything you do; What you sign may not be the most beneficial to you, or buyers may sue you later for any contract problem.
DON'T KNOW WHO THE BUYER IS.
When someone is interested in your house, it is important to know if they are qualified buyersor just curious neighbors, if they have the means to buy the house or are looking beyond their means. Real estate agents know exactly what questions to ask to know the buyer's reasons and resources, and to know if a visit to the house is worth it or is a waste of time.
In short, you will be wasting your time doing something that would work out much better if you talked to a professional.
Your house may be the biggest sale you make in your life. You can try to do it just to save, but in the long run, having the help of a real estate agent will give you many advantages. An agent can help you negotiate to get the best deal, devote all the time necessary for the sale, and will provide you with all the experience that only an expert can have.
