| FSBO Beware |
It's sad but true that in today's world, one must be cautious of strangers. For the home seller who is going it alone, as a ""For Sale by Owner,"" this is especially true.
In recent years, real estate agents nationwide have been alerted to the dangers of finding themselves alone in a house with a stranger. If you choose to sell your home yourself, here are some tips which I hope you'll consider.
Show your home by appointment only. This allows you the opportunity to obtain some information on the prospect. Verify by calling back.
Always have another person with you when prospects come to tour the home.
Don't leave prospects in a room alone.
Hide small valuables out of sight, and if you have valuable collections of any kind, it's a good idea to store them away until after the sale.
One of the important services a professional real estate agent provides is the peace of mind that comes with not having to escort strangers through your home.
