Save thousands of Euros in commissions

buying a house for sale by owner

Selling your house yourself has many advantages and cutting real estate agencies from the loop will save you (owners) thousands of euros. Usually, estate agents commissions vary from 4% to 12% of the house for sale price. If your house (owner) for sale is priced at 200.000, you'll save around 16.000. And, don't forget taxes on that 16.000. You can either pocket this money or use it to list your house for sale at a lower price and sell it faster. The choice is yours!

 

Selling your house yourself is not difficult

If you're nervous about all the legal issues, simply remember that, when you're ready to sign a contract with a buyer, your lawyer and/or your notary will take care of the legalities, not you (owner). Your lawyers are there to prepare, review and present all aspects of the agreement to the buyer's lawyer and protect your interests.

 

Selling your house yourself leaves you in control

By selling your house yourself, you'll be in control of your selling strategy: describe your house for sale the way you want, place ads on the internet, schedule viewings at your convenience, take your house for sale off the market if you change your mind (no contract!), no pressure selling.

 

You can sell your house better than anyone

You know your house and your neighborhood. Because you've lived there, you're the best person to describe it in detail and show all its wonderful features. You're (owners are) also the best person to decide what is a fair price for your house for sale and you'll be able to sell house faster because there will be no need to inflate the price to include a estate agent's commission.

 

Faster and more direct negotiations
