Thinking of Selling Real Estate By Owner?

You should hire an agent to represent your best interests.

Why should Lynn Pickett be your Selling Agent?

As an experienced professional, I know and understand the market and the trends in the market place. Selling your property at market value, within the right amount of time, without delays or legal problems is my goal. Far too often I have seen an Owner sell without understanding the market, or without obtaining proper advice. Statistics suggest that the vast majority of owners will net more money using a real estate agent rather than trying to sell by owner.

Why REALTORS succeed while FOR SALE BY OWNERS Struggle:

4 Types of Buyers

First Time Buyers - These buyers are in unfamiliar territory and require assistance from an agent with financing, understanding the market, writing and understanding the real estate purchase contract. They need extra attention

Transferee Buyers - These buyers are moving into the area and generally are in a hurry to get settled. Most of the time these buyers have been referred to a real estate agent in the area and will make a decision quickly. These buyers tend to look during normal business hours with an agent.

Ladder Buyers - These buyers have a home to sell before they can buy. The majority of these buyers have employed an agent to market their property. When the property is sold they will look with their agent to buy their next property.

Investor Buyers - These buyers are looking for instant equity. Buy low - Sell high is their philosophy. A inexperienced For Sale By Owner can be easy prey for an investor buyer.

I want to Interview for the job as your Listing Agent

Experience comes from time and knowledge. Sadly, some experience comes from the school of hard knocks, other experience comes from reading, research, studing, trying new things, experimenting and/or finding solutions. I am very experienced in market values/market trends and negotiations. I have learned from time, as well as study, how buyers are going to react to a home and what a buyer would tend to offer for your home. I market property to reach the highest price a buyer is willing to pay in our market conditions today.
