Never Again Pay Real Estate Agent Fees

When you follow some simple guidelines for marketing your home yourself, you can easily save yourself thousands.

The recent boom in property sales is giving people a lot of thought to selling their homes. But the cost of selling can eat up their profits. They can't do anything about stamp duty, but there is one thing they can control, and that's the fees of their real estate agent. Bypassing their agent can net them from $20,000 to $300,000 on one sale alone.

So if you happened to be one of these people wanting to sell you own home, what all would be involved? Well, let's look at that. There are two main factors that you need to address, and those are 'time' and 'advertising'. High quality ads along with several hours a week for fielding calls and managing the inspections, will mean the difference in receiving a nice healthy profit and in disappointment and heartache.

Lots of people get intimidated by all the aspect of marketing and selling their homes. But it's not all that difficult. You need to write yourself a nice description of the property, then arrange a good photograph, and then place your ad. It's that simple.

Maybe the main thing you need to remember is that when you organize your sale, you aren't selling just a building, but a home, and a lifestyle as well. Here are seven small tricks to help you get started selling your own home successfully:

Write down you favorite places within the house and the things you like doing in them

1 - Clean up the house. Remove all clutter before you take pictures.
2 - Capture the color inside and out, and keep things simple.
3 - Write down your favorite place to have your morning coffee. Or to take a snooze in the afternoon, or have a glass of wine in the evenings.
4 - Make a note of any really pleasant fragrances. This could be plants such as gardenia or jasmine, even sea breezes if you're close to a beach.
5 - Write around 150 words describing everything you like about you home.
6 - Write down your favorite places within the house and the things you like doing in them.
7 - Invest in placing an ad in a well-known newspaper and use your Internet.

Even if you aren't into creating yourself a masterpiece of an ad, you can get it done by professionals for a lot less money than you could hire real estate agents. Professional copywriters can set you up with a great ad for around $250 or so. And then you can hire professional photographers to take some enticing photos for around $300.

So it doesn't matter if you do the creative work yourself or if you hire it done, you're still going to save a lot of money by going around hiring the real estate agent. And if your advertising is good, you'll find a lot more potential buyers and you could even wind up getting more out of your house. The main thing to remember is that average advertising will portray a building, while top quality advertising will portray a home.
