FSBO HELP

Ken Snyder (843) 540-0599 ERA Evergreen Real Estate Company	I am sure you are wondering how can hiring a Realtor save you money over selling your home on your own. How can you end up with more money in your pocket if you have to pay a commission to us? Well the answer is simple. If ERA and the Ken Snyder Team can sell you home for more than you can on your own, you may end up with more money in your pocket, even after you pay a commission. You may also find that we can sell your home faster. Both Ken and I specialize in helping FSBO properties. We understand that you have already spent money trying to sell your home. If you use us as your Realtor team, we are willing to reimburse you a portion of those expenses after your home sells. We also offer a discount in our commission specifically to former FSBO property owners.
* MLS	You may ask, what can we do differently that you have not done? As Real Estate professionals we have tools available to us that homeowners don’t have. One primary tool we use to sell homes is the local Multiple Listing Service, or MLS. The MLS is shared by local realtors, and is one of the primary sources of exposure for your home. Most homebuyers are represented by a Realtor, and Realtors use the MLS to search for homes for their clients. As a for sale by owner, you won’t be able to participate in the MLS, and thus your exposure to homebuyers will be greatly reduced. If you let us represent you, we will immediately include your home on the MLS with multiple photos and a virtual tour video of your home.
	Listing your home with us puts the ERA name on your home sale. ERA is a worldwide real estate company that consumers readily recognize and trust. Some homebuyers are afraid to buy a for sale by owner property. They simply feel more comfortable buying a home through a recognized real estate firm. Realtors earn a living from real estate commissions, and FSBO properties may not be willing to compensate a Realtor for finding them a buyer. Because of this, Realtors may concentrate on showning homes that are on the MLS, and not FSBO properties.
	Working with us will get you a much larger Internet presence. We put your home on our personal website, www.KenSnyderTeam.com. We also put you on ERA.com, and the local ERA Evergreen.com websites. Combined, these websites showcase your home for sale to millions of homebuyers! ERA.com alone is visited by over six million visitors each month! You cannot get this type of exposure with personal or other help you sell websites. Statistics show that more than 70% of homebuyers start their home search online. We live in a vacation and retirement area here in Hilton Head. Many homebuyers live out of town, and rely on the Internet to find retirement and second homes.
	We have the ability to market your home more effectively than you can. ERA reserves space in homes magazine, and other publications. We are able through contract rates to run large picture ads of your home for sale. Many visitors use these publications to look for homes during their visits to the Hilton Head area. We also run open house display ads in newspapers, on the MLS, and on the Internet. We have professional quality flyers and DVD videos of your property produced. We also showcase your home on TV monitors in both the Hilton Head and Bluffton offices. Exposure is the key to bringing you a buyer. Using me as your Realtor will give you this exposure.
	By using us to List your home, you will attract potential buyers from many different products that ERA offers. I work closely with mortgage lenders and ERA mortgage. Buyers can do one stop shopping. ERA can help your homebuyer obtain a mortgage to purchase your home. My relationship with ERA Mortgage allows us to pre-qualify homebuyers over the phone. This pre-qualification helps assure that the people who visit your home are ready and able to buy.
	ERA has a national referral network. This network allows hundreds of ERA offices across the nation to help people relocate to our area.
	I can also offer a home warranty for your home. Many homebuyers are comparing your home with new construction that comes with fresh home warranties. ERA has the ERA Home Protection Plan that protects your home from major breakdowns during the listing period. Additionally, it safeguards the purchaser for a full year after closing. This warranty puts your pre-owned house on a level playing field with new construction. Statistics show that homes that offer warranties sell faster than ones that have no warranty.
	ERA also offers the Sellers Security Plan. “We will Sell Your House, Or ERA Will Buy It”. This powerful promise combines the benefits of an equity advance with those of an assured sale to give you flexibility to make a move when you want to, without waiting for your current home to sell. The ERA Sellers security plan is a leading program of it’s kind in real estate, and the only one nationwide! Some other conditions apply. Call me if you would like all the details of this program.
	If you do decide to use a Realtor, we would appreciate you considering using us. Our experience and knowledge will guide you from start to finish in the home selling process. Not all Realtors are the same. Please interview several Realtors before hiring one to represent you. After doing all your research, I am confident you will chose Ken and I at ERA. We work together as a team to sell your home. Ken specializes in open houses and promotions, and I specialize in marketing, contracts, and negotiations.
	I have been involved in either Real Estate investing, sales, management, or leasing for over 10 years. Real estate is my passion, and it shows in my performance and drive. I am also a commercial pilot. I am Captain rated on Learjets, DC-9, and MD-80’s. I am also qualified on the Boeing 737, and currently am flying the Boeing 747 Wide body Jumbo Jet. Flying is my hobby, and much of the money I make flying is directly invested into our real estate marketing programs. This means more money used to advertise and promote your listing!
	We spare no expense in the tools we use to market and sell your home. We invest in our clients. We converted a limousine into a mobile real estate office! The mobile office allows our homebuyers to view your listing on a TV monitor. Your home location is programmed into the onboard GPS system to navigate buyers directly to your home. Our buyers have free use of our onboard phone, fax machine, printer, tablet computer, real-time moving maps, wireless mobile Internet and MLS access. Buyers can even electronically sign and fax an offer in on your home before leaving your driveway! Our cutting edge technology shows the commitment we make to our clients.
Rick Ross Ken Snyder	I hope this website has given you some information that will help you sell your home by yourself. If you have trouble selling your home for the price you want, please give us a call before you start to drop your price! Too often I see FSBO dropping their price because they have not found a buyer. Many times the price drop is unnecessary. The answer is better exposure through a professional Realtor, not continual price reductions. You may actually save money from using a Realtor vs. reducing your price. Again, I am Rick Ross at ERA Evergreen, and both Ken Snyder and I wish you the best of luck in selling your home. We hope you choose the Ken Snyder Team at ERA as your life long Realtors. Thank You for your time. The Ken Snyder Team
