Why Should You Buy "For Sale By Owner"?

1. SAVES YOU MONEY! Buying directly from the homeowner in a "For Sale By Owner" transaction will save you the cost of having to pay for the real estate commission. The 6-7% commission that is typically charged by real estate agents will often times be added to the total cost of the home. When this is done, YOU (the buyer) are the one that will end up paying the commission. Buying a home in a "For Sale By Owner" transaction will cost you less money and you will get MORE HOME FOR YOUR MONEY!!

2. SAVES YOU TIME! You deal directly with the homeowner rather than through a third party. Communication is more direct, faster, and to the point. You will get more accomplished in a shorter length of time which means YOU CAN BE IN YOUR NEW HOME SOONER!

3. EASY TO DO! Some people think that purchasing real estate from anyone other than a broker is difficult. This myth is very far from the truth. Purchasing "For Sale By Owner" is simple. Once you and the homeowner agree to the price of the home, you will turn everything over to For Sale By Owner Services Assistance Option Program - the paperwork to closing program. Then a lender and a Settlement Company will get involved. This is the same thing that happens when you use a real estate agent except this time, there are no commissions involved!
Many of the "For Sale By Owner" magazines listed on the fsbonetwork.com site will cater to the seller or the buyer and will even help you through the entire buying and selling process! Please call the local magazine in your area for full details!
