List with Fisher
Why Use a Broker?
We understand that selling your property can be an emotional and sometimes traumatic event. We at Fisher Realty try to simplify things and make this as painless a process as possible. We have provided a large list of satisfied buyers and sellers. Please feel free to call anyone one this list and ask them how they were treated and how their sale was handled.
The first thing you need when selling your home is a fair value for your property. We hear stories all of the time where people thought they would save money by not using a broker, and ended up being taken advantage of. It is a statistical fact that, generally, sellers net a higher profit on the sale of their property using a qualified broker. Just let us know if you need a free market analysis to determine the worth of your property.
Sometimes people use a broker's value, but try to sell property on their own (FSBO). But, some buyers aren't real comfortable with the hassle of dealing with all the paperwork and legalities without a professional involved.
If a buyer does consider buying a FSBO, they generally feel that because the seller doesn't have to pay a commission, they can take that amount off the seller's asking price. In reality, the seller is paying the buyer the commission they would have paid for the deal to be handled by a professional.
In addition, buyers then expect the seller to pay all costs of having the offer and other documents drafted, as well as the closing fees. Not only did the seller pay a commission to someone not qualified to handle their sale professionally, now they have to pay another professional to do so. Sellers many times end up losing money by selling FSBO.
That doesn't even take into account all the details and headaches they must cope with and the many sales that fall through; which means starting from scratch after a lot of time and money has already been invested.
These are just a few reasons to use qualified professionals. If you think you'd like to list your property, here are a few things you’ll need:
- A copy of your warranty deed
- A tax bill for the current year
- Your abstract or a copy of the title policy
- A copy of any existing survey or plat
- Any mortgage information you may have (if there is one)
If you don't have access to any of these documents, we can help you get them.
There are several documents
that will need to be signed. We will explain them and answer any questions, to
help you feel comfortable with the process. Because many of our sellers aren't
local, we can also fax or mail documents, to meet your needs. Our
straightforward, honest approach, along with a strong focus on meeting the
needs of both our sellers and buyers, helps to build up a relationship of trust
at Fisher Realty.
Having trust in the realtor will help in selling your property.
