For Sale By Owner FSBO has really come along with the introduction of Zillow and Redfin. I would look at those sites before offering 5% more for a home. It’s simple, just choose the filters you want and view the pics on line. If you are afraid of overpaying, just do the square footage price calculation. Check others being sold and decide for yourself.
Step 1 Go to Zillow and look
Step 2 Check homes selling that are similar Price divided by square feet
Step 3 Make an offer
It’s that simple
Home selling is almost as easy
Step 1 Take pictures of your house
Step 2 Log onto Zillow and upload your pics
Step 3 Accept an offer
Step 4 Choose a title company to do all the paperwork
Easiest Option…go with a flat rate seller in The Villages. Additional costs of up to 5k can be expected though.
