avoid ‘For sale By Owner’ selling yOur Own HOMe cOMes witH risks

W

hether you are buying or selling a property, ‘For Sale

By Owner’ is a hazard you should try hard to avoid.

The concept sounds simple enough. Sellers can avoid paying the extra percentages to Realtor fees while buyers can speed through the purchasing process without having to sign papers all day at the bank.

Not so fast, say most industry experts.

PaPerwOrk HeadacHes

The documentation required to execute a for-sale-by-owner transaction is reason enough to avoid falling into the trap.

Complex contracts, legal papers and disclosures complement the buying-selling process and are best left to experienced professionals.

Real estate agents can steer you toward the safest, most current methods for selling or buying a home in your region. They can also provide a checklist of the required steps to make a transaction official, including purchasing title insurance and having the deed recorded properly at the courthouse.

Missing any of these steps can lead to big

problems down the line.

Market knOwledge

Real estate professionals have it, but common homeowners do not. Extensive market knowledge is something that takes years of industry experience and comprehensive research to accrue.

Agents are skilled in analyzing all of the factors that contribute to properly pricing a home. Aspects like proximity to good schools, nearby flood zones and neighborhood reputation can be the difference between a good home and a great one.

Real estate agents are experts in gathering and communicating this information.

It is in your best interest to let them help

you avoid potential pitfalls that could leave you regretting your decision for years to come.

risk MitigatiOn

Real estate agents have seen it all, from the sneaky homeowners who try to hide potentially dangerous aspects of their home to the aggressive buyer who makes an offer at far less than market value.

Realtors are able to spot such behaviors and alert buyers/sellers to the red flags.

Without professional help, you may encounter a challenge that requires industry pedigree and past experience to overcome, and by the time you conduct the necessary research, it could be too late.

save for Your Down Payment

O

verwhelmed at the thought of scrounging together 20 percent for a down payment on your dream home? Don’t be.

Saving for a down payment is serious business, but is not an insurmountable task. It takes dedication and discipline, and can be achieved with the help of the following tips.

ConsiDer Your oPtions

A down payment is traditionally 20 percent

of the final price of the home, but buyers can actually pay as little as five percent or less in some cases.

Most lenders will allow buyers to pay a smaller down payment, but it comes at the cost of extra non-principle payment on their monthly mortgage payments.

Private mortgage insurance is what banks use to protect themselves from buyer default, and it will typically add a chunk to your monthly payments until 20 percent of the home is paid down.

Your lender can educate you on the different rates and options that are available when it comes to private mortgage insurance.

ask for HelP Some lenders participate in down payment assistance programs that can help buyers expedite the process of moving into their dream

home.

Acceptance into programs can be dependent upon your past payment history and credit reports. Qualification requirements vary by lender and state, so be sure to explore your options. You never know unless you ask.

invest Your MoneY

Experts urge savers to keep their down payment stockpile separate from their other accounts. This helps refrain them from dipping into the house savings for unexpected expenditures that can crop up at any time.

Savers are also urged to invest their home savings into low-risk options like money

market accounts or certificates of deposit.

tigHten uP

You may be surprised by how much you are spending on fast food, movies, and rounds of golf.

Create a spreadsheet and document your spending over

the course of a couple of months, and find out exactly where your money is going.

The results may change your spending habits and might convince you to cut out or reduce some of your monthly bills.

Every penny counts when you’re saving for your new home’s down payment.
