Like thousands of other homeowners, you want to sell your house. Except unlike most of them, you want to sell it yourself, without the use of a real estate agent.

      Why? Probably because you want to save the commission.

       Sure! Why not. I can't blame you one bit. The thought of saving thousands of dollars certainly is appealing.

I'm not like most real estate agents that will try to convince you that selling your home yourself is silly. In fact, if you are willing to learn the process, and invest the time and money to do it, you can sell your home yourself, and save thousands of dollars in real estate agent's commissions.

       THIS REPORT WILL SHOW YOU HOW, STEP BY STEP!!

The techniques and suggestions in this report are not just some random ideas thrown together. They have been tested and proven over many years and thousands of successful sales.

This report is organized, and right to the point. Everything you need to know is here, but there's not a lot of fluff thrown in that would waste your time (You'll need every minute to work on the sale)!

Before we get started, I know that you may be thinking:

"Hey, wait a minute, why in the world would a real estate agent want to show me how to sell my home myself?

 It does seem a little odd, but there is a perfectly logical explanation.  I mentioned before that I am not like most other agents you'll meet. I know that what goes around comes around.

 I will do everything I can to assist you so that you can achieve your goal of selling your home yourself, and there is absolutely no obligation.

Here is the reason why:

 The facts are that nearly 90% of all the people that put their home up for sale by themselves eventually end up listing with an agent.
 If your situation changes and you decide to list with an agent, I hope that you will allow me to show you my marketing plans and that you will at least consider me for the job.

 If you are successful selling your home yourself (and your chances are excellent with the tips in this report), experience has proven to me that you may remember the help that I provided and give my name to others who might need my services.

 In fact, I get more referrals from people who were successful selling on their own than the ones who end up listing. So I actually hope that you do achieve your goal and sell it!

 No matter what happens, though, it's OK with me. I know that in the long run if I help enough people to get what they want, I will get what I want... which is to make a good living providing top-notch service to my clients.

 So there you have it, pure and simple.

  Now let's move on to the real task at hand... getting your home sold!!
You can sell your home yourself, without listing it with a real estate agent.

Lots of work needs to be done, which means that you need to do the work of the agent. If you're willing to put in the effort and learn the process that top agents use, your chances of success will increase greatly.

 First off, you need to adopt a business attitude about the entire situation. Homeowners are often quite emotional about their homes, and it can prevent them from making rational decisions when selling.

 They reminisce about all of the holiday get togethers, back yard barbecues, and how the family grew together in the home.   Potential buyers are not interested in nor affected by your emotional attachments to your home.  Potential buyers are not looking to buy your home; they are looking to buy a house that they can make into their home.  You must put your emotions aside and realize that you are going to have to make a dollars and cents business transaction.

 Studies have shown that home sellers want three main things:

 1) To sell their home for the highest possible price,

 2) within the time frame they need,

 3) with the least amount of hassle and inconvenience.

 If you are like most sellers, you probably want the same things. Only since you are selling it yourself, you are willing to give up some on number three, because you are going to have to take on the work that a real estate agent would normally do.

 Yes, that's right.  YOU MUST DO THE JOB OF THE REAL ESTATE AGENT!

 It can be a very overwhelming task, so the best way to tackle it is to learn and understand the six-step home selling process:

Step 1 - Understanding Market Conditions and Pricing Your Home
Step 2 - Calculating Your Bottom Line
Step 3 - Preparing Your Home for Sale  
Step 4 - Marketing and Showing Your Home
Step 5 - Negotiation and Contract
Step 6 - Closing and Moving

In Part Two we will examine each step more closely so Stay tuned to this Cedar Rapids Real Estate Report.
