how do you list your house for sale by owner?

I am a Realtor in Oregon and Washington. I started in the business in 1986. I take 15 clock hours of continuing education per year for each state. Even yesterday, I  asked my colleagues about something I hadn't run across before. \n\nSure, you want to save the commission. I don't blame you. But mistakes are expensive. \n\nTwo weeks ago I listed a condo for sale. The day after my sign went up, another went up 'By Owner.' Three days later, mine was sold, but I had two buyers left over. \n\nI called the 'By Owner' guy to see if he had sold yet and he was excited because he had sold his, too. My customer sold his condo for $130,000 (1,000 over full price) and paid a $6,500 commission. His net will be about $123,500.\n\nThe By Owner? He sold his for $115,000! He saved the commission but it cost him $15,000! He could have sold for $130,000!\n\nIt was as if he had sold the condo and paid a 11.5% commission!\n\nHere's a link to the one I sold: http://www.rmlsweb.com/Reports.asp?CMAID=8243123&Time=2003\nYou can click on the address and get a pop-up map of the location.\n\nGo with a Realtor, Please?\n\nIf you want, I can refer you to an experienced, full time agent in  your hometown that I will personally interview.\n\nYou can contact me toll free or by email. \n\nBest wishes,\n\nLeigh M\nPortland\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com

a bid to sell?  that doesn't make sense.  Are you asking what forms you need to put your house on the market?  Disclosure statements vary state to state so check your state for their disclosure requirements.

Get the adress of the business. Take it to the court house. They will look it up in their records and can tell you who owns it and who owns the property its sitting on. The court house will have all the info you need since they have to keep it on record for tax purposes and etc.

Try these..\n\nhttp://www.realtybid.com/home/home.cfm  You can even sign up to have new listing e-mailed to you as they come on the market in your area..BUT a Realtor has to actually bid on the properties for you..\n\nhttp://www.ocwen.com/Home.cfm  this is the VA repo web site..\n\nYou might also contact a few of your local Realtors and have them e-mail you listings that come up..

Find out who the owner is (local tax records at your town hall or county clerks office will help you determine the owner) and then contact them to see if they are willing to sell.  If they don't want to sell, there is nothing you can do.

Although it is a public record, if the house sold very recently it may not have been recorded yet by the local assessor's office.  If you know the real estate agency that handled the sale, check their web site or give them a call.  I'm sure if you own a home in the area they would be glad to field your question and offer a sales pitch!

In light of what you've been told here, wait until the subject property your friend wants to purchase goes on the market. Most are listed after they are cleaned, inspected and the past owners are vacated. \n\nI've been investing in properties for 25 years and have never purchased a foreclosed home at auction due to the fact of hidden problems and non-liability of the sellers...Good Luck!

If the agent wants you to do a mass mailing to potential clients in a particular nieghborhood (her potential clients) you can get free mailing lists from a title company. mailing list from title co. are great. You can tell them that you only want to mail to owners or renters or people that have live in their house at lease so many years. They should give you this list for free, if you ask, they may even give you preprinted labels

To think in a positive way.When listings is listed Sold means they had sold it,maybe some buyers are looking at that area,may need more information.As a buyer point of view they wish to know how much the property is sold at,buyers will call the said agent for more info,in this case this agent will try to get the buyer another property that is similar to the one that is sold.Or perhaps Owners that lives in the neighborhood may have ideas to sell their own property may also call this agent to help them sell their property.Isn't it a good way to get listing and buyers too!!!!\nAs for Under Offer is to let buyers to know that this said property  is under negotiating and let others buyers know thats the last chance to make and offer if they are interested in the property.For eg.Certain buyers may love the property but refuse to pay the price which the owner wants(they want best buy).they tried to play hard,but this "under offer" may let them know thats their last chance to make another offer.\nHighlight to you,NOT ALL Estate Agents are well verse in their Trades,this is also a form of Advertisement for themselves.Would you list with an agent which is new in the market that hasnt much exp in selling house,or you would rather list with agent that has sold tons of houses.Of course you will list with the exp ones,cause they can get you a better price.

Ask your realtor. Ask the realtor representing the buyer and if you can, ask the owner themselves. \n\nThey are required to disclose any and all information regarding the property. If they do not, they can be held liable.

You can advertise on Homestore.com or similar sites. Link to your own website.  Get a farm list of non-owner occupied homes (call your local title co. rep) - send direct mail to those tenants/occupants - maybe they'd like to own their own home instead of paying the landlord's mortgage?

Call the tax office in the town hall where the property is located and give them the address and ask them to check who the owner is. All records like that are open to the public.

Ask any realtor.  This information is readily available to them.  The title or deed for the house lists all of the previous owners, what improvements were made (such as when structures on the land were built), and dated records of how much it was sold for.  I believe there is a way to obtain this information from your county's courthouse as well.

If the occupants are the land owners, the information is public record in the tax database of the county where you live. If they are renters, I am not sure how to get an accurate list since renters tend to move frequently.

First of all, RESTRAINING ORDER asap! Second of all, yes you can list your home with an agent and request no sign. All the sign does is alert passers by that your home is for sale. When people are house shopping and they go through an agent they most often get listings within their requested price range. The agency also usually lists the property online. Other agencies also have access to your listing for their clients. There is a large realestate listing database that all agents have access to. The sign is no big deal. As for your big problem with your ex, once you do get your home sold and moved I would suggest being unlisted. Dont even put in a postal change of address because the info can be easily accessed. Just call all of your contacts and give the ones you want the new address or a better idea is to get a P.O. Box.  Please be careful, a situation like this that has been festering for many years can be very dangerous. Do not underestimate your ex, he might not even know what he is capable of if he is mentally unstable.
