today I want to talk to you about three
ways that you can sell your home without
using your realtor that will ultimately
maybe put you in a better situation at
the closing table if you are going
through a divorce
maybe you're relocating or maybe you've
already put a contingent offer on a new
house there are many reasons why you may
not want to list your home for sale with
a realtor several people want to do it
ourselves
and list their home for sale by owner
there are three main ways that you could
sell your home without using a realtor
the first one is you could go for Sale
By Owner and bring your house to the
market all on your own
the second way is that you could sell
your home directly to an eye buyer
company like Zillow offers or open door
or the third way is you could work
directly with an investor throughout we
buy houses company there are pros and
cons to every single one of these
methods if you decide to go for Sale By
Owner and list your home on your own the
big perk here is obviously you're not
gonna have to pay a realtor to list your
house this is a great option for people
who have a lot of spare time who don't
mind showing their house in the middle
of the day or whenever a buyer wants to
see it and maybe you potentially have
low equity in your home and can't afford
the extra costs that a realtor would be
a con in this situation is that you may
accidentally under or over value your
home which can cause it to sit on the
market or you potentially may not get
what you could have gotten for it if you
consider going for Sale By Owner I
definitely recommend that you either
reach out to a local real estate
professional who can give you some
advice on where you should price your
house in the market or check out my
previous video that I'll link above
where I teach you how to calculate a
good sales price for your home using
comparable sales in your area a second
option on how you can sell your home
without using
Coulter is selling directly to an eye
buyer company like I mentioned earlier
those companies are companies like
Zillow offers red fin and open door you
may see commercials for these companies
and basically what they do is they use
an automatic value calculator to
determine your home's value without ever
seeing it then they'll probably send a
representative out just to see what
features you have in your home and
they'll make you a direct offer the big
perk here is obviously convenience and
you're not having to pay a realtor fee
now these I buy are companies do also
have a fee that may or may not be higher
or lower than a Realtors Commission they
vary on a case by case basis the kind of
selling to one of these eye buyer
companies is that you do not have anyone
who is representing you and can help you
negotiate the best deal when selling
your home so you may receive and agree
to a lower offer then you could have if
you had an agent bring your house to the
market to negotiate the best deal for
you a third option that you have when
selling your house without a realtor is
to work with a we buy houses company
these companies are a little bit more
unique because they offer more solutions
in the situations of homeowners that
they help I have seen these companies
help people in pre foreclosure who are
on back payments they could help you if
you have a very distressed home that no
investor or retail buyer would be able
to buy and a great perk is they're not
going to ask for repairs they're gonna
buy your house as is so you don't have
to worry about spending extra money in a
tight situation now one thing that I do
want to mention is that not all we buy
houses companies are the same
so if you are considering working with
one of these types of companies make
sure that you do your research a great
place to go to is look up the company
you're interested in working with and
make sure that they're on your local
Secretary of State's website to ensure
that they are a legitimate and
registered business in your state so
whether you just want to sell your home
quickly with no hassle maybe you're in a
tight situation where you don't have a
lot of equity or you're behind on
payments if you do not want to sell with
a realtor you have other options as a
homeowner if you have any other
