Navigating Contracts When Selling Your Home Without an Agent
Summary:
A recent survey shows that about 30% of homeowners are planning to sell their homes without a real estate agent. Many more might do the same if it weren't for concerns about handling the contract process.
Article:
Selling your home without a real estate agent can save you a significant amount of money. Typically, agents charge a commission of around six percent of the sale price. For a $300,000 home, that's $18,000. Why don't more people take this route? Mainly, it's the fear of dealing with contracts.
Demystifying Real Estate Contracts
While selling on your own can save a lot, the process, especially handling contracts, can be intimidating. Concerns about doing something wrong and potential legal issues often deter people. However, it doesn't have to be daunting.
Most real estate agents are not legal experts. They focus on sales and often use standard pre-printed contracts. So, you don't need to worry excessively about this aspect.
The Role of a Real Estate Lawyer
A straightforward way to manage the stress of real estate contracts is to hire a real estate lawyer. These professionals are knowledgeable about the process and can guide you through every step. With their expertise, they can offer more reliable advice than real estate agents when it comes to transactional details.
While hiring an attorney might seem costly, it's much less expensive than a six percent agent commission. For instance, if you avoid paying an $18,000 commission to a realtor, the typical legal fees for an attorney, at around $200 per hour, might only total about $4,000 for 20 hours of work?"potentially saving you $14,000.
Conclusion
The main hurdle for homeowners selling independently is often the fear of handling contracts. By seeking legal assistance, you can confidently navigate the process and save significantly. More homeowners could benefit from this approach, as it simplifies the sale and maximizes profits.
