What Is a For Sale By Owner Consultant?

Are you in the process of trying to market your Atlanta For Sale By Owner (FSBO) property to no avail? Many homeowners have successfully sold their homes using the FSBO method. Many others have not.

 

I offer a For Sale By Owner Consulting Service to help you stay on track. My goal is to help YOU sell your home fast for the highest sales price possible. Instead of acting as your real estate agent for a commission, I charge a flat fee to guide you through the following:

• Prep your home so it’s ready for listing on the Atlanta real estate market
• Perform a competitive market analysis (CMA) to determine your home’s current fair market value
• Design and order personalized and creative FSBO signs
• Prepare a plan and detailed instructions on how to host your own DIY open house
• Provide template forms for writing your own counteroffers and sales agreement

For Sale By Owner: Opening Escrow & Disclosures

As the seller, when escrow opens, there are certain disclosures you must provide to the buyer and her/his real estate agent in writing. All property inspection reports must be given to them. And you must disclose any and all matters or defects that could affect the home’s value to the buyer.

Many of the disclosure forms can be found at stationery stores and online. Your Escrow Officer is not allowed by law to provide them to you.

These are just some of the legal disclosures you must provide to your buyers and potential buyers:

• Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement
• Flood Zone Statement
• Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
• Copy of Purchase Agreement and Addendums
• Closing Statement
• Signed Deed
• Bill of Sale
• Affidavit of Title

Other Documents a DIY Seller May Need

• Loan Payoff Info
• HOA Guidelines and Forms
• Property Survey Results
• Property Disclosure Statement
• Flood Zone Statement
• Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
