Should I List My Home With an Agent or Sell it Myself as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO)?
Attention: For Sale By Owners! People Are Afraid To Buy From You!
Many homeowners believe that to maximize their profit on a home sale they should sell it themselves. They may even think that they have to sell the home themselves in order to avoid losing their home to foreclosure or short sale (if the latter is you, you may have options you are not aware of–contact me and I would be happy to discuss them with you). At first glance, they feel selling a home is simple and why should they pay a broker fees for something they could do themselves?
Before you decide to sell FSBO, consider these questions and weigh the answers of assuming the responsibility versus employing a professional. A little time spent investigating up front will pay off tenfold in the end. This article discusses some Questions To Consider.

It is Now Legal to Short Sale Your Home, Lease it Back, and then Buy it Later at Today's Low Price!!
People can now short sale their homes, lease them back and purchase them at today’s prices later!
Until recently, many banks would not allow a seller to remain in a property as a renter after they completed a short sale and none would allow an agreement that would arrange up front for the seller to potentially buy back the home at the cheaper price.
Now, becase of Supplemental Directive 11-02 March 30, 2011, those two things are legally possible if the seller/borrower qualifies and their bank agrees!
