Getting ready to list our house - FSBO - and was wondering if there were any tricks Realtors use when writing up a listing. I have written all the 'good stuff' about the house, but it's really long. How do you get all of the great features of your house in front of possible buyers....?
I know. I've done it before though, used to have a license, flipped homes etc.......doesn't make me any good at it, but can't leave so much $ on the table. Ok to pay a buyers agent a couple per cent, but not a whole 5-6%....wish I could.
I probably shouldn't have asked here, I know you guys hate FSBO's, cant say I blame you.....
oh, I never wish anyone selling their home "bad luck".
I just think you clearly need a professional.
If I'm chilling out on the freeway 2 states away, flowing with the traffic, going 85 mph, there's no claim I can legally make about the cop that pulls me over and tickets me.
So, my options are:
a) pay a local attorney $300 to make it disappear
b) send a florid letter to the local DA begging forgiveness in exchange for dismissing it (no insurance points, please!) with court costs - about $200. no options to me if the DA says "Aw, hell naw!"
c) drive there the day of court, taking off work and other obligations, have some paperwork with me, and hope the DA is in a good mood and will dismiss my case at $0 cost other than gas and time.
Again, there are 300,000 thousand homes total nationwide annually that CAN sell very easily without a real estate agent getting paid a nickel.
Yours seems not one of them, without some blind luck.

Just because I asked advice on the verbiage for the listing? You don't know the house (recently remodeled by an award winning contractor - me), the area (exclusive and in demand) or the inventory (almost zero)....
Not trying to argue, just don't get your logic....
