1. Advertise. There are many ways to advertise your home. Try to think about ways that you can get the word out there without having to spend too much money. There are many websites that allow you to post an advertisement of your house even though you aren't with any specific real estate company. You can also turn to local newspapers to get your house listed. One way to do some inexpensive advertising is to place a "For Sale by Owner" sign in your front yard and maybe even attach some flyers with more information about your house. This way, friends and neighbors and even people driving by will know your home is for sale and can mention it to family and friends who are looking for homes.
2. Save Money. Real estate agents can do a lot of good for you, but it isn't free. You will need to pay your agent a commission rate at the end of the sale. This is ridiculous to pay if you are able to do everything for yourself. Take a little time after work to do some of the advertisements mentioned about and you will soon get phone calls inquiring about your home.
3. Find Your Dream. When you use a real estate agent to sell your home, they may or may not help you find a new home. If you would prefer to look for a new home yourself, you will know that you won't waste time with homes that are not what you want. An agent may find some homes to show you that are out of your price range or in an area you really wouldn't consider. By searching for homes yourself, you will be able to look at homes that have the features you think are necessary for a sale.
There are so many reasons why some people choose to sell their homes themselves, but hopefully these three reasons give you an idea of what the advantages are when you sell your home yourself.
