SECTION 2 - r.UiL \ PL\j*DKAl,KR.HERALl>. FRIDAY . JAM \H\ 11.1985 Business Real estate pros may aid By Yvonne Beer •ncathre vie* preeldeot, McBaary County Board of Realtor* If you've thought about selling your , own home without professional help, you may be in for a hide surprise. Selling a home is a very time- consuming and energy-draining experience. For those who are familiar with the seemingly endless details involved in property transactions, the responsibilities can be over­ whelming. In addition, you easily can lose a sale without a third party who knows the ins and outs of selling a home. There are many points to consider in handling the sale of your own home. Can you determine its fair market value? Although you may believe you know what value to place on your home, you may ask too high a price and sub­ sequently have difficulty in finding a buyer. Even worse, you may ask a price below your home'.4chal value. On the other hand, a real estate professional has the i expertise to take into account many of the variables involved, such as market demand, location, selling prices of comparable homes and seasonal aspects. A professional can provide a current and accurate estimate of your home's value in order to help you set a price that's right for the area's market and will result in a quick sale. Are you prepared to help potential buyers with mortgage information? Do you know what kinds of financing are available? A professional works closely with. financial in­ stitutions and is familiar with their methods ' and requirements. Can you be sure that prospective buyers are finan­ cially capable of buying your home? With a 'for sale by owner* sign on your front lawn, you will be inviting curiosity seekers and others who have no intention of buying. A professional will screen unqualified lookers from prospective buyers and will arrange appointments for qualified prospects to view your home when its convenient for you. Are you able to market your property effectively? Many professionals . are members of multiple listing services, which help market your property through other area real estate firms. A professional also knows how to draw prospects to your property through advertising. If you are considering the sale of your home, contact a realtor, a ieal estate professional who is a member of the National Association of Realtors and subscribes to its strict code of ethics. You may wish to in­ terview several realtors, and then work with the one whom you feel most comfortable.
