Are You Sure “For Sale By Owner” Is Right For You - Wednesday March 31st, 2010 10:44am

Whenever homeowners are considering selling their home one of the first questions they ask themselves is should they try to do "for sale by owner" instead of listing with a real estate agent. This is a fair question and many folks think they can manage the process of selling a home on their own while saving commission to a realtor. Many folks who take this path quickly become disenchanted with the process and all that is involved in trying to sell their home.

The truth is a real estate agent can help homeowners from the beginning of the process by gathering information such as comps in the area, analyzing home trends, make recommendations to get your home ready to sell and more than anything market your home. Potential buyers these days are fully utilizing the internet to do home searches and folks trying to sell a home on their own will not have the access to meet the mass number of folks that are surfing the internet each and every day. Realtors utilize a number of sites and can make sure your home is being exposed to as many folks as possible. In addtion the process of managing showings including having constant access for buyers is very critical in the seling process. Buyers will cross homes off their lists quickly if they cant get access to homes on their terms. With the large invnetory of homes on the market For Sale by Owners properties can miss out quickly on buyers due to communication issues.

New Technology Makes All The Difference - Saturday March 6th, 2010 6:47am
I continue to be amazed at the power of the internet and so much of our business is generated by our use of the latest technologies. February ended up being a record month for The Guilliams Team for the number of searches done on our website for potential buyers. The internet is a strong tool and we strongly recommend that if folks are not comfortable or familiar with it you need to get that way because it is the future and the future is here. Not too long ago if folks were looking for a home they would contact a realtor and spend hours at a time driving around looking at neighborhoods and homes. Today people are so busy and they don't have the time or the desire to drive around looking. Buyers are savvy and they use the internet to help them narrow down their searches. Once they have a few properties they contact their realtor to preview homes. We work with our buyers as well to understand what is important to them in their home search so that we can research additional properties, but many times the search is narrowed down by the time we go and preview homes. The internet is a wonderful and remarkable tool and give The Guilliams Team a call today and let us help you better understand the power at your fingertips.
