Home Sellers and Realtors New Advantages

John Nolan, a Retired Realtor, Appraiser,

and Residential Auction Marketing Specialist,

has created a National web site wherein a home

owner or Realtor can purchase a floppy disk for

$50. containing much needed information and forms

and instructions to offer a residential property

For Sale By Owner on his site.

At a cost of $250., a Home Auction Setup Manual is

offered with the access code to a Private Online

Residential Site. A local Real Estate Attorney is

required to adapt all prototype forms to local

Rules and Regulations.

Nolan also provides a list of Fee for Service Realtors

in every State.

The Internet is a great additional tool. There are thousands

of Free Classified Ad sites, and, if you choose to sell your

own property,there are hundreds of Free FSBO (For Sale By Owner)

sites available. Use the Google Search box to locate them.

In today's world, your most important and first ally, should be a local Real Estate

Attorney. A major change in the Real Estate Industry since I retired has been the

introduction of Buyer Agency. I consider that to be a major benefit to all parties involved

in the Sale if it were used correctly. What I have observed is the Buyer Agent attempting

to collect her/his Fee from the Sellers proceeds. What a ridiculous notion. If you choose

to hire a Realtor® to list and market your home, he/she will have earned the negotiated

Fee when the closing occurs. 50 years of field experience in all facets of the Real Estate

Industry has proven to me, that in any type of market condition, buyers are a dime a

dozen for a home priced to local market conditions. If a buyer wants Exclusive

representation, he/she/they should be willing to sign a Contract with the Buyer Agent

stating the amount they will pay their agent outside of the closing.

In my opinion, the days of Commission payments are numbered. A Fee for Services

Rendered Menu is more appropriate to the higher prices prevailing across the Country.

Other than first time buyers, first time sellers, and a few other exceptions such as a

single person living alone, I would recommend trying to sell it yourself and put the saved

Commission into your Tuition or Retirement Fund. There is certainly an abundance of

Free help to be found on the Internet.

A New Day has dawned.
