As they start to sit on numerous open houses, they soon find out that the only people coming to the open house are Realtors hoping to list their home. But the smart and savvy seller can utilize the many Realtors coming to list his home, by pretending to be interested. Knowledge is power, so if the seller will talk to each and every Realtor, they will give him enough basic information to guide him to the right process.

If you will simply ask an agent where is the best escrow company and who does their title work, most agents will turn over a business card and a name to these companies. All agents will leave their own business cards and through friendliness will be so willing to assist, thinking of course that they have the possibility of getting the listing. They will ask repeatedly for the listing and if nothing else the agent will hope to get referrals.

Now a smart buyer can enlist the agent to hold the open house. He can tell the agent that he can get many clients this way. So the agent now holds the open house for free and the seller is free to go about his business. The agent will bring the open house signs and this will save the seller this expense. While the agent is sitting on the open house, a smart seller can quiz the agent on how to fill out all the necessary forms.

Most all escrow companies will aide the seller in filling out the contract for free in exchange for the escrow business and guide them to the right legal alternatives in the contract. A local title company will also provide free to the seller title comparables and a title report to show the prospective buyer.

You never know if the person wanting to see your home is a thief or a rapist. The Broker gets paid a commission for a reason, but only through trial and error can you learn all of this. Most sellers will try to sell their own home and some do achieve the sale.

The seller who sells his home by himself is usually the one who has experienced many real estate deals in the past and the one who has a home in tip top shape. The best way to continue to get free advice is to talk to many, many Realtors and each one will bring one new bit of advice. The smart seller is now happy as he has learned a great deal about selling his home and it was all for free.
