Should I use a Realtor or Try and Buy it Privately – PROS vs. CONS
Everyone that lives in the Windsor and Essex County Region has considered one time or another on buying For Sale By Owner home. Its human nature to want to save money when dealing with possibly the biggest transaction you’ll ever encounter. Are For Sale By Owners-privates homes such a good deal and are they the way to go to save money? The answer to this question 99% of the time is NO! Keep reading this real estate report and find out why Buying Privately For Sale By Owner without Representation vs. Using a professional REALTOR® is a difference between day and night.
Here’s your scenario – you're contemplating on buying your dream home, you don't care if it's listed with real estate or if it's a For Sale By Owner home. You just want to get a good deal on a house, so you start with looking at For Sale By Owners properties, it all sounds pretty easy, but it takes a professional REALTOR® and here’s why.
So why even consider using a real estate agent? SIMPLE – Generally, there are no deals with For Sale By Owner properties, most of the time they are overpriced and the sellers are not motivated to sell, and sometimes they can turn into very costly complete horror stories for buyers. REALTORS® are used and will continue to be used for the majority of home sales because buying a home is very expensive and time consuming, protecting their buyer through-out the entire process. A good REALTOR® has a strong understanding of the in's and outs of legals' and have excellent negotiating skills they do it every day for a living, they will ensure their client remains on the right side of the deal from start to finish.
1. SAVE MONEY – 99% of time they are overpriced, the seller is not motivated to sell. The other only possible savings opportunity would be the agents commission – BUT if a seller is not willing to pay a realtor, why would the seller help you.
2. COMPLETE CONTROL – Over everything, very time consuming, could be extremely costly an unfortunate experience.
1. Absolutely No Cost to the Buyer for the Services of a Professional REALTOR® - The cost of the real estate commission comes from the proceeds of the sale of the home. It's an absolutely free service to the buyer why wouldn't you take advantage of this service offering you complete brokerage protection.
2. REALTORS® Co-operating, REALTORS® have the majority of the listings - There are over 1,000 Real Estate Agents with the Windsor and Essex County Real Estate 
Board who co-operate with each other with a common goal to sell houses......... all have listings with clients that are motivated to sell their house employing the benefits of our full marketing system........... REALTORS® have the majority of listings.
3. REALTORS® have access to Bank Foreclosures and other Price to sell properties - Realtors can email listings, that match exactly what you're looking for as they come up daily directly to your email in box.
4. REALTORS® know the market - I am always familiar with the current homes on the market, and I know neighborhood values well, so I can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you start your search. Realtors will provide you with a wealth of information about the area and including direct comparables of recent sales with pricing information of similar homes you're interested in, help you making your decision, an informed one.
5. Legal Forms - Do you know how to complete the required forms? Sellers sometimes get cold feet if the legal forms are completed after the fact by third party lawyers. This is a large financial obligation, remember when you sign a contract to buy or sell a property they are complex and are a legally binding document. An improperly written contract cost you thousands of unnecessary dollars. Have an bonded experienced Realtor who knows the "ins and outs" fully explain the contract you are about to sign to you.
6. Can I still use the Services of REALTOR® and Buy Privately - Yes, the mistaken belief is that it will cost the buyers money - or that they will be able to negotiate a better deal directly with the seller. This can be an expensive mistake when buying a home privately, I have yet to meet a private seller that will not incur the cost of realtor to sell their home, its paid directly out of the proceeds of the sale. As a Buyer, you may not be taking advantage of the best value available in the residential housing market today, you need a REALTOR® who is committed to using their experience gained through hundreds of successful real estate negotiations for your benefit..... to protect your interest, at no charge to you!
