CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 18, 1978

You might get lucky and save a buck or two.

A lot of folks have tried to sell thelr own homes and succeeded. A lot more have just tried.

Most people realize that selling your own home can be a costly, time-consuming, even risky affair. And unless you're just naturally lucky, you need the help of a professional Realtor. He can save you a lot of time and headaches. For a lot of good reasons.

If you're thinking about selling your own home, maybe you should consider some of those reasons.

What's your price?

The first thing a Realtor can do for you is recommend a fair and reasonable asking price.

Oo it yourself and you will probably ask too much or too little. Either way, you lose.

And don’t be fooled by the bellef you know pretty well what your home is worth. Market demand, seasonallty of sales, location and many other variables often alter your home’ '3 value,

A skilled Realtor knows all about these things. Most important, he knows people,

Don’t talk to strangers.

If you love talking to strange people at strange hours, by all means sell your home yourself. That “For Sale by Owner”’ sign in your front yard means you're fair game for everyone — even those passers-by who “just kinda wanted to see what the place looked lik

That sign may not get all the prospects you want, either. You may have to advertise. And that means phone calls at all hours.

A Realtor can solve these problems. First of all, he will screen the prospects. He'll know their needs, desires and financial situation. And he'll know who is serlously looking for a new home and who Is just looking.

Best of all, he'll show your house only when it’s convenient for you.

That beautiful art.

Okay tiger. You're selling your own home. You know the needs and desires of your prospective buyers. And you know what to say, how to present your home to convince them.

Right?

Wrong.

Realtors are trained In the art of salesmanship. (And believe us, It Is an art.) His study of sales techniques has shown him how to get the indecisive buyer to make up his mind; Ai to close the sale. In fact, he’s gone to school to find of

etter all, setling is what it's all about.

Go ahead, sell your own home, you riverboat gambler, you.

Formal nagotiations.

What happens when a prospective buyer makes you an offer — one that's well below your asking price?

You're going to argue. And that’s the worst thing you could do.

As a principal, you'll discover it's pretty hard to bargaln with a buyer — to negotiate about such things as price, terms and possessions. Misunderstandings may crop up. And those small disagreements can spoil a sale.

When a Realtor helps sell your home, he takes on the difficult task of He's sort of a gi and advisor. And he's objective. Hell ft tell you when the buyer is right. And he’ll tell you when to stick to your guns.

"He's usually a heck of a nice guy, too. He knows how to smooth aver, or completely avold, those sale-killing misunderstandings.

How to shop for money.

Many prospective buyers don’t know much about financing — how or where to get a mortgage.

Sell your home yourself, and there's not much you can do to help him.

A Realtor knows Just about all there Is to know ahout financing. He works very closely with all kinds of financial institutions. He knows their methods and requirements.

Very simply, he can help your buyer find the money he needs to buy your house.

Red tape.

Selling a house involves many details. Paperwork, title searches, finance arrangements. There are a hundred little things to be done.

Unless you have a mind like acomputer, you'll need a Realtor to get everything done and keep it straight. He and your attorney will guide you through the tangle of details as painlessly and safely as possible,

Be It ever so humbte.

Crowded closets may make a home [ook lived in, but It doesn’t do much for a prospective buyer. Neither does a dripping faucet, unkept lawn or a loose doorknob.

There are dozens of little things you can do to make your house more saleable. A Realtor can show them to you. (Some of them would never have occurred to you.)

Showmanship Is ail it's cracked up to be.

tn conclusion.

So why gamble?

When you decide. to sell your home or property, let one of the capable Realtors right here in Castlegar do it for you. Their business Is seeing that you're satisfied.
