Continued from previous page Sell Your Own Home
6. What reason will you
give a buyer or agent for selling your home?
The reasons and motivations for
selling your home can be many and varied. Most potential home buyers know this and will be
quick to ask, “Why are you selling.” How would you reply to that question?
Sometimes the potential home
buyer is just being nosey. However, in most cases, the home buyer has good basis for wanting to
know the motivating reasons for the sale. The home buyer will want to know what’s wrong with the
house — if it is so good why are you selling your home? They may also want to know why you are
contemplating selling your home yourself without an agent fsbo.
7. How desperate are you
to sell?
Both the real estate agent and
the home buyer know that your level of motivation will be the driving force in the house sale.
They will want you to reveal how urgent the deal is and how negotiable and flexible you are with
selling your home yourself or through an agent.
Are you desperate and willing to
sell your home at any price? Have you already made a conditional offer on another house? Are you
relocating to start a new job in a new town? Have your family circumstances changed? Those are
the types of questions that can reveal how motivated (or desperate) you are in selling your
home. They can have a big influence on the final outcome in terms and the conditions of
sale and the negotiated price for your dwelling.
That’s why it is really important
to decide exactly what you are going to tell a real estate agent or a potential home buyer.
Decide exactly how motivated you are in selling your home, before you put your house on the
market. Think of how you are going to answer each question before it gets
asked.
8. Be careful what you
say
Although you should always be
honest - by saying the wrong thing, or a simple "slip of the tongue", could cost you dearly. You
will need to choose your words carefully. Decide how much information you are willing to give
without revealing too much, or misleading, or deceiving the real estate agent or the home
buyer.
9. Be mentally prepared
Everyone, at some point in his or her life has
listened to their little voice cautioning them against following a certain action. If you
frequently question what you do and think, and veer away from making decisions, then you may be
stopping yourself from reaching your fullest potential.

10. Face your fears
So what motivates that niggly little voice?
What’s stopping you from making that important decision in selling your home yourself

One of the most common answers is FEAR. Fear is
the greatest single barrier to success in our personnel and professional lives. The emotion of
fear is intended to warn us of danger and to act as a cautionary tool.
Fear should make us stop and think before taking
action. What fear shouldn’t do is dictate the course of action we take. Dont be afraid of
