I prepared to deal with an onslaught of buyers who perceive
selling For Sale by Owner as targets for "low
balling"? - Selling

Another
challenge of selling a home is screening unqualified prospects
and dealing with "low ballers." It often goes unnoticed
that much time, effort and expertise is required to spot
these people quickly. Settling for a "low ball" bid is usually
worse than paying broker commissions.
Am
I offering financing options to the buyer? Am I prepared
to answer questions about financing? -

One
of the keys to selling, whether it's a home, a car.. anything,
is to have all the necessary information the prospective

before you had "all your ducks in a row?" By offering financing
options, you give the home buyer the ability to work on their
terms. You'll open up the possibility of selling your home
quicker and more profitably. A professional real estate agent
will have a complete team for you to profit from - lenders,
title reps, inspection companies, appraisers, etc.. and they'll
