Congratulations on refusing to be a sheep and meekly agreeing to hand over a third of your home equity to a broker just to sell your home!
So what are the next steps to sell your home For Sale By Owner in New York City?
We’ll explain in this article the immediate next steps you’ll need to follow to successfully sell your home without a traditional real estate broker.
You will be competing with traditional agent listings featuring professional real estate photography, so don’t expect buyers to pay top dollar or remember your listing over a professionally marketed listing if you snap photos of your home with a cell phone camera.
Hauseit offers NYC FSBO home sellers top-notch professional real estate photography for very affordable rates and fast turnarounds.
A Full Service Listing for 1%
Sell your home with a traditional full service listing for just one percent commission.
50% of home buyers won’t even visit your property before seeing a floor plan online.
If you don’t already have one, we can have a custom floor plan professionally measured and drawn for you in 72 hours.
Pro Tip: As a FSBO home seller in NYC, you will be competing for buyers against properties which are professionally marketed by experienced listing agents. Want your home listing to stand a league above the competition? Consider a stand-alone, fully customized property website for buyers to see the full picture about your home.
Step 3: Set your Listing Price
Pricing your home correctly is the most important factor to successfully selling your home FSBO in NYC.
