Here at Chicago Home Estates, we are aware of the difficulties selling a home by owner entails. If you have already begun the process of selling your house and would like to make sure you are on the right track, we encourage you to take our quiz below. If you are still in the preliminary phases of selling your home, and are not sure which road you would like to take (be it venturing out on your own by making your home for sale by owner, or relying on a trained professional agent), sign up for our program tailored to helping you in listing your home for sale by owner.

Can You Pass The Owners Quiz?

Do you have a buyer?
Have you qualified him or her on financial ability?
Is your buyer contractually obligated to the purchase?
Has your buyer arranged necessary financing?
Have you set up an account to handle escrow and earnest money?
Do you possess all required state and federal disclosure forms?

If all the answers above are "Yes," then congratulations on your sale! If you answered no to any of these questions, you have not yet sold your home. Now ask yourself the following:

Did you know that a majority of people calling on FSBO's do not qualify for a mortgage at your price point?
Do you have an aggressive team of professionals marketing your property daily?
Did you realize that listing with a Realtor almost always results in a higher net profit to the seller (even after commissions are paid)?
Can you successfully negotiate with a multi-million dollar producer if one brings you a buyer?
How will you handle a multiple offer?
Are you well versed in contingencies, attorney review periods, inspection periods and all steps of due diligence?
Do you realize that newspaper advertising is a passive method of marketing property?
