Many owners
choose to sell privately without Agents. These homes
'for sale by owner' are sometimes known as FSBOs
The
owner knows their home better than anyone and this
expertise can contribute to the property being marketed
far more effectively. Many prospective purchasers,
jaded by the tales of Estate Agents business practices,
may prefer to deal with the vendor directly.
You
could negotiate a good deal with 'For Sale By Owner'
homes.
You
may find owners will take the fee saving into account
when negotiating the price, in effect sharing the
saving with you. As well as internet sites, try
local papers for private adverts.
Nowadays
it is relatively easy for anyone for set up a web
site to advertise their house for sale. The great
difficulty is ensuring that any house buyer ever
finds the page amongst the millions of property
related pages on the internet.
There
are now over one hundred private sale web
sites that will help you find a house to
purchase online but many of them are small and do
not attract many sellers to their sites in sufficient
numbers. It makes sense for a vendor to use a private
property sales web site with an established presence
on the web.
There
are also sites for specialist property e.g. period
property and barns etc. that have built a reputation
in their specialist sectors of the market.
All
PRIVATE SALE SITES are a usefull tool to use when
completing your own DUE
