Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself?
Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...

There's More to Selling Your Home than You Think. 

Even if a simple sign in your yard or newspaper ad did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to others like it in Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle and Rye?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

A recent survey by the National Association of Realtors (December 2008) shows that almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent and that these sellers would do it again for their next home. The study also showed the over 70% of the FSBO sellers had major difficulty selling their home themselves.  

As a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle and Rye, nationally and internationally. I also guide you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before embarking on this important venture. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle and Rye real estate agent, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. 

Don't price your home by yourself! It's my job to analyze the Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle and Rye market and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Real Estate Tips
Zoning Laws >The Zoning Variance

When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!

Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home.

Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.
