If you’ve decided to dispense with a real estate agent to avoid paying those ridiculous commissions (I mean your talking about 5 to 10% of your asking price that’s up to $22,000 of the value of an average family home in the US!!! Wow!, and all out of YOUR pocket!!), then you need to start thinking like one yourself.
How? Three to six months before your target sale, start doing your homework on home selling strategies. If you have friends or colleagues who’ve worked in real estate, pick-their-brains, but don’t tell them you are thinking of selling your own house so they won’t try to convince you to do otherwise. (You need to avoid being ‘intimidated’ by negativity at this critical time!)
Ask them about mistakes they’ve made or mistakes that their relatives and friends have made. Survey the entire landscape. Personal experiences are always an excellent source of knowledge and strategies.
