There are many type of flat fee or limited service companies around the country.  While the programs differ from each other concept and services, each is designed to increase the MLS and public exposure of For Sale By Owner (FSBO) homesellers. They allow you to avoid part or all of the commission if you sell the property yourself.   Some have their own buyer agents hoping to earn a commission, and others refer all prospective buyers to the seller.  Some install sign posts and flyer boxes.  Some are the actual licensed brokerage, and some are lead generation sites that sell the lead to licensed brokerages.  Some allow the seller to set the commission offered to buyer agents, and some do not.  Some provide purchase and sale agreements and discount programs with title and escrow companies.  You can pick and choose the style that is right for you.  The largest of these companies in Washington is MLS4owners.com.

You can go through your realtor or on your own. Since you're first time the realtor might be a better idea to address the necessary issues. For sale by owner means the owner handles everything themselves, so they don't have to give a piece of their profit to anyone.

You have multiple options: You can describe the house you would like to have at http://www.MyRentToOwnHome.com and have sellers with rent to own houses call you, or you can view rent to own listings at http://www.Rent-To-Own-Ads.com

Get another buyer,\nWhy must you sell to this particular person that dont show interest to your property?\nYou cant do anything if he doesnt show any interest in it.

The best way to go about is starting with single family homes or duplexs.  You'll get a taste of being a landlord.  With apartments it can be tricky.  Also, think about liquidity.  Apartment buildings are much more difficult to sell.  \n\nOnce you've established yourself with duplex's and houses then think monopoly.  Trade them in for the apartment complex. Good luck

You can absolutely sell your property with little to no hassle...Just disclose what, if any, problems you are having with the home and sell it as-is.

You'll need more than a "form letter". If you want to sell without a real estate agent, you should still hire a real estate attorney to handle all the legal documents.

You can do a Sale by Owner which you don't need a Agent to sell your house. Try many websites, such as www.craigslist.com >>choose your city or region>> and post your house! Free and easy. They will call you. This service is great because you can choose your region and people form your region will call you, not from the other world. I have done it, and this family lived right in the next nerighbohood.

Is it For Sale By Owner?  If it's listed then get your own Realtor to help you with the negotiation process.  You can use the listing Agent, but keep in mind that they have to keep Both of your interest in mind, this can be good or bad.  If you're working with the listing agent, they are likely to push for you to get it as they can get both sides of the commission.  On the other hand, your own Agent will be completely loyal to you only.  I don't think a letter will do much for you as the bottom line is the right price, and the least amount of hassle in regards to financing.  Never-mind a huge Earnest money payment, as there are a hundred ways to get out of it (not many people know this).\nMost homeowners could care less what/why you want the property.  It can't hurt to write them a letter, but it probably won't make much difference....good luck!

Barbara,\n\nYou should advertise your FSBO (For Sale By Owner) on Craigslist.  It's a great personals site that has a powerful following.  Many realtors are using it as well to market their listings as well.  It does work, probably better than Yahoo personals for ads which are not allowed.

Find a real estate investor (or several) that likes to flip houses or fix up and rent out houses. You can then do all the work. \n\nYou may need to get a contractor license to do it right. You might even consider doing it for yourself, then you don't have to have a license if you are the owner. (You may still need to if you are going to flip, but not if you are going to rent them out)

It depends on how many and how much of a thing and under what circumstances they are to be sold.  Will it be a once in awhile Garage Sale, or a Retail Store.  Unless selling your personal property becomes a business you can sell w/o a Business Permit  or a Resale tax I.D. number.  On the other hand, if you had Yard Sales every weekend for a year you would have a business, and the above mentioned documents would be needed.

Ask everyone you know if they know of anyone looking to sell their home. Real Estate is a "how long you've been in the business" kind of thing.  It takes a while for people to think of you before they think of someone else. Part of that is achieved by farming, some is advertising, but most is referrals.  The more people you've done business with the more people that get referred.\n\n----\n\nYou need to base it on where you are located. The guy from Singapore has some great ideas, but some of them are not legal in the US.  You cannot pay a referral fee to anyone in the US unless they are a Licensed Real Estate Agent.  You can be prosecuted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.\n\nThe other post where they suggest sending postcards etc to 300 to 500 households a month is called farming.  However, it usually takes six months to a couple years for farming to start paying off - and it can be expensive.  But it is a good tool.

Generally, the #1 most important thing you can do to sell a home quicker and for more profit is to make it appear clean, bright and easy to move-in.  Re-doing flooring and cabinets is great, but you MAY not get the value back when trying to sell.  If your home is cluttered, CLEAN it up..get out the mess, SCRUB like crazy. Paint all walls a white or an off-white/ cream.  You can even paint cabinets, depending on the type.  As for flooring, if it really needs to be re-done, look into laminate flooring (i.e. Pergo).  It looks great, is easy to keep clean, is less expensive than hardwood and is requires relatively little maintenance.  You may even be able to install it yourself...it's no that hard.\n\nA neat, attractive lawn adds a great deal of curb appeal and is something you can do yourself, sometimes at little cost to you.  Plant some shrubs, put down some mulch and clear out any brush or dead plantings.  Get a power washer and wash down the outside of the house, your driveway, steps, any patios and/ or decks..you can even paint if needed.\n\nBasically, do little things that will attrach people to the house, giving them the impression that it is somewhere they would want to make their home.  Also, if you are selling, light scented candles to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.  People relate good scents to good feelings.\n\nHope this helps!!!
