Are you willing to FSBO?

Are you thinking of selling your home? Choosing a reputable Real Estate Agent is always the best option. However, some property owners opt to be their own agent. In California it is possible to sell your home, For Sale by Owner (FSBO). As tempting as it may seem to save those commission fees, FSBO has certain risks. Setting a listing price, marketing and negotiating with buyers is definitely a viable option for those property owners willing to put in the time and effort.

However, what happens after you negotiate the perfect price and find a buyer? In a standard real estate transaction, your agent will make sure the required documents and forms are completed. As a FSBO seller, you'll have to navigate the paperwork by yourself. Many closing documents are legally binding agreements. Errors can result in an unenforceable contract that could sabotage your sell and cost you thousands in fees. To avoid an expensive mistake, consider working with a Transaction Coordinator to support you in completing the forms that you need to sell your home.

A Transaction Coordinator can assist you in the following:

• Review real estate contracts for completion and compliance

• Collect signatures on all forms

• Organize and maintain paperwork related to the transaction

• Track deadlines and timeframes

Buying and selling property can be stressful and there is a lot to know and do. By hiring a Transaction Coordinator, a property owner can reduce anxiety and trust that the paperwork is being handled in a timely professional manner.
