Yes You Can Sell Your Own Home PDF Download

This little book will take you through the process of buying and/or selling a house. It gives you a lot of lists; some are questions to ask, some are things to not forget. It is easy to read, easy to understand, it's not lawyer type language; and, it will help you avoid the mistakes that so many buyers (17 mistakes) and sellers (15 mistakes) make.The author, Lee Simon, was a real estate broker in the Los Angeles area for 20 years. He has sold over one hundred houses to buyers and for sellers. He has also purchased 6 houses of his own and sold three of them. (he lives in one of them and rents the other two.)The really good news is that this book has lists that you can take with you and refer to as you work your way through the process of buying or selling. Here is a sample of one of the lists in the Buyers section:Mistake #3When there's no Agent for the Seller. This is a FSBO, and they will represent themselves in the negotiations. That is sometimes alright, but you must try to get answers to these questions. That's the mistake here, to not try.* Were you ever a real estate agent or broker (very experienced)* Have you sold any houses before? (some experience if answer is yes)* What length of escrow are you looking for (does this fit with your needs?)* Have you had any other offers? (Are they on the table now?)* Are you looking to cash out? (If so, you need a bank loan or pay all cash).* Have you been under contract that fell out of escrow and cancelled? (this is to your advantage if so)* If it doesn't sell are you planning on listing it? (If yes, then they are more motivated to sell to you)* Do you know where you'll be moving to? (If they do they will be more motivated)* Are you willing to use the standard Realtors contract for this state? (This protects you)* Do you mind if I have my attorney review our contract if we get to that? (This also protects you)ΩThis little book will take you through the process of buying and/or selling a house. It gives you a lot of lists; some are questions to ask, some are things to not forget.
