How to sell your own home.

Customer Log-in
 
Transferring the title and collecting your cash should be the easiest part of selling your house. Select links below for tips on getting to closing day with your deal still intact.
  • Avoid the tendency to relax after getting a buyer to sign your sales contract. Finishing details; ..the events between signing a contract and closing day should lead smoothly to collecting cash for your house, ...but little things can go wrong if you don't pay attention.
  • Home Inspections: Buyers have the right to inspect your house. Pay attention! Every inspection is a potential deal killer.
  • Calculate the Net cash you will receive from the sale of your home on closing day.
  • Prepared by the closing attorney, escrow agent or title officer, depending on your state, the settlement statement is an accounting of all the monies in the sale of your home. Attorneys and escrow agents are trustworthy but mistakes happen, and even a small mistake can cost a thousand dollars on the sale of your house.
  • Closing day: This is when the closing attorney or escrow agent transfers the title to the buyer, pays all outstanding bills, and turns the cash balance over to the seller.
  • Sales contracts and Offer to purchase agreements can be intimidating. Often written in legalese that looks like foreign languages, they really can be understood by anyone who takes the time to read a few sentences, stop, digest, and read a few more sentences.
