(First Time Buyer + For Sale by Owner - Local Realtor = Bumps)

This isn’t just a thought, this is something I’ve learned that has been tried and true for years. A first time home buyer and a for sale by owner equal disaster. When you have someone who is trying to save a buck selling a home on their own, and an inexperienced first time home buyer you can guarantee you will have bumps to say the least. When working in a complicated market like today’s, an experienced realtor by your side is absolutely critical to a successful transaction! Here are several reasons why,

• For instance, who is going to maintain and manage the details of the transaction?
• Who is going to verify that the sellers disclosure has been filled out properly, and honestly?
• Who determines that the property is reasonably priced and isn’t going to tie up time and money while waiting for an appraisal only to find, it’s over priced?
• Who will be setting up inspections Per the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Contract, and who will be making sure the time lines outlined within are being met so you’re protected?
• Where do you go for settlement, and who will be coordinating it?
• What bank are you working with, and have they gathered the proper information to issue a proper pre-approval?
• If the first-time home buyer is going to claim the $8000 tax credit, is the transaction at enough of an arms-length to qualify that buyer, do they qualify based on the governments parameters of a first-time home buyer, and have they verified this with a tax professional?
• Who will be holding the deposit money?
• How do you know your not going to get scammed when you’re dealing with a seller looking out for their own interests. A licensed realtor is held to a high standard of ethics and laws you should be able to count on. Selling real estate feeds my family, why would I jeopardize that?
• Does the home have a well and septic and are they working properly?
• What do you have to loose working with a buyer’s agent that costs you nothing?

Stay calm, if your home for sale in Lancaster Pa expired. We have several strategies to sell your home. Although I do understand it’s frustrating.

First thing, You’re not the only expired listing in Lancaster Pa. There are many things to do make your home more saleable thing next time around.  If you’re interested, I have four key points to determine what you would like to do, for your own knowledge.

1. Communication- Did your agent keep you updated and aware of what showings and buyers had to say about the home. Did you keep your agent up to date inregards to changes to the home?

2. How is your home priced?

• Unfortunatly current market condition may not bring you what you have in to the home or what you feel it may be worth.
• Tune into current market conditons via your realtor.

3.Condition-

• Ask your agent to be objective about the condition of your property
• Got Stuff? Do you need to declutter, remove some of the pictures and personal items you have so the prospective buyer can imagine themselves in the home.

4. How is your home being presented to the market?

• Marketing is key, even the best marketing won’t sell an overpriced or less than desirable home.
• The best marketing coupled with the best price should sell your home
