Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself?
Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...

There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. 

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to other homes in the surrounding Pascack Valley area towns?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in your town and the surrounding Pascack Valley and Bergen County area and even nationally, while guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and We'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth. We'll also describe, as experienced and top Pascack Valley area real estate agents, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. 

Don't price your home by yourself! It's our job to analyze the Hillsdale, Westwood, Emerson and Pascack Valley markets and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Real Estate Tips
Short Sales >2. How to Request a Short Sale

If you are facing foreclosure and are considering selling your home as a short sale as an out, get in touch with a trusted real estate professional immediately. They will be able to assist you in the process of requesting to short sell your home.

  1. Your real estate agent will most likely tell you that some banks will not allow a short sale to happen. Contact your lender’s loss mitigation department and speak with a supervisor. Explain your financial situation and ask if you qualify to sell your home as a short sale.
  2. Ask the supervisor what documents you’ll need to proceed and make copies of those. (Depending on the lender this could be anything from bank statements, tax forms, pay stubs, etc.)
  3. Ask your real estate agent to come up with a comparative market analysis report to show your lender how much the home is worth based on home sales in the area.
  4. Write a letter of financial hardship detailing the reasons you are no longer able to make payments on your home.
  5. When you’ve completed all the aforementioned necessary paperwork, compile it together and mail it to your lender’s loss mitigation department.
  6. Pending your short sale application approval, request a deficiency release from the bank. The release absolves you of any obligation to pay the balance on the mortgage. If the bank refuses, continue to press the issue.
