2. The longer a home is on the market, the likelihood of you getting your asking price is slim to none.Most buyers will assume that there must be something wrong with the house and make a real low offer.
3. You are the one that will show your home. Now you have put you and or your family at risk by allowing perfect strangers to enter your home. Even Realtors® have been raped and killed showing properties. Is this a chance you want to take?
4. Most buyers’ find it hard to talk to sellers’ and then to try and negotiate with them as well can be a little uncomfortable which is why they will avoid a For Sale By Owner property.

6. Most qualified buyers are working with experienced real estate agents.

12. Ask yourself this…
a. If you weren’t a surgeon would you perform surgery on anyone?
b. If you weren’t a Lawyer, would you represent yourself in a major lawsuit?
