For Sale By Owner

Some homeowners actually try to sell their own home for a period of time. According to the National Association of Realtors, only 10 percent of them are successful.

The majority of home sellers indicate that pre-qualifying the prospective buyers was the most difficult part of trying to sell their home. When pre-qualifying didn't occur (and it usually doesn't), the seller accepted an offer from an unqualified buyer, resulting in wasted time, and possibly money. A professional Realtor will automatically pre-qualify potential buyers to make sure they can be taken seriously. Juniper Realty & Associates, Inc. offers an in-house Financial company to assist buyers on obtaining a pre-approval before making an offer to purchase and will present a qualified, ready and able buyer to the seller.

Sellers are eager to know what a prospective buyer likes and doesn't like about their home, and most indicated that they had difficulty getting feedback from buyers. Buyers don't want to hurt the sellers' feelings, so they tend to hold back the true reason(s) why the home did not suit them. The problem may be easily remedied if the seller is informed about it, but otherwise it could result in a lost sale.
