Question: What's the worst that can happen if I try to sell my home myself?
Answer: NOTHING!
Nothing at all....No “qualified” buyers....No offers....No SALE!
Oh, but there will be a lot of other activity. Your phone will be ringing off the hook with people who are just “checking out the market”. You will be busy weeding out the curious lookers from the serious buyers, wondering what you should ask them on the phone before they waste your time with a visit.
You'll be answering the door at all hours to strangers who saw your sign, ignored the “By Appointment Only” request and demand to see your house--right now! Complete strangers in your home--think about it!
And of course you'll be busy trying to fulfill all the legal requirements (forms, disclosures, inspections, etc) necessary for selling a home in Florida, along with numerous other details involved in coordinating the process in a timely manner.
Real Estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, why would you even consider handling a real estate transaction without the assistance of a real estate professional? Honestly?
