Selling a house without an Realtor in Fort Collins CO

There's a few things you can do to sell without a Realtor in Fort Collins

Truth be told, "Usually the seller pays the commission, unless buyer and seller negotiate a split or agree to the buyer assuming the full amount. The seller should factor the commission into the asking price." according to Realtor.com, you can continue reading the post here.

Sell your house for a high price. Most people are going to offer lower than your asking price to see what you're willing to take. They'll want to test the waters first.

Most often buyers won't bother to negotiate to pay part of the 6% commission the seller will be paying out of their equity. Don't forget to add that the buyer will pay half the agent's commission if you do accept a lower offer.

Most transactions happen through the Multiple Listing Service. The MLS is a database the majority of buyers and sellers will use to access information for their clients on every type of properties you can think of for sale, along with data on the sold prices.

There are a few Realtors who will charge you a fee just to list your property on the MLS. Whether the house sells or not, you're paying a few hundred dollars just to let the general public know you have a house for sale.

All the major real estate sites get data from the MLS. Each of those sites sells ads. They’ve got packages that let you pay to highlight your listing, feature it at the top of the search, and a lot of other things you can do yourself on sites like Zillow.

Tell As Many People As Possible, You Have A House For Sale!

Putting up fliers and holding open houses can get the job done. But it's 2017 and you should really use social media to get your property sold. The more friends you have on Facebook, they better your chances they'll know someone looking to buy a house in Fort Collins.

Realtors honestly charge up front fees because they have to spend a lot of money to advertise your property. You're basically paying them to do work you could be doing instead. It'll take a little more of your time but it'll save way more money in the end.

Sell Your House To Real Estate Investors

One of the best things you can do to sell your house in Fort Collins is to call real estate investors in the area. They advertise all over the place and you should be able to get a free quote for your house. Keep in mind every investor has different buying criteria so don't just call the first person and think they all offer the same.
