An offer for Madison / SouthCentral Wisconsin owners selling their own home:

With the expiration of the first-time and move-up homebuyer’s tax credit, the available number of buyers looking to purchase their first or new home has significantly decreased. The number of qualified buyers leaving the market outnumbers the number of buyers entering the market daily. What does this mean for you? Fewer people looking to purchase a home.

I’m not soliciting you to sell your home! I want to help you to the best of my ability because I live in the Ridgewood Drumlin Neighborhood and have had clients buy and sell other homes near yours. I know this area and have a vested interest in ensuring that you get the most money in the sale of your home and that your house doesn’t stay on the market for too long!! If you should decide at a future date/time to list with a realtor, I’d like to be considered before any other realtor for your business.

How I can help you to sell your home on your own:

• There will be no contract and no verbal or written commitment of any kind until you ask me to list your home and act as your Realtor.
• A free consultation to come look at your home and make some suggestions to help with your home’s marketability.
• I’ll talk to you about comparable homes that have just been sold/purchased in the area so you know what you can expect to get from your home realistically.
• I’ll loan you or get you a copy of a DVD I have for Realtors on how to best prepare a home for showings.
• Information on the market your home is in and what’s happening in your market. We call this a ‘Market Analysis’ and it will give you some idea of what homes in your area are currently selling for.
• A FREE website for your home and ONLY your home that you can post a link to on Craigslist.
• A FREE Information Voice Recording (IVR) and text messaging sign to better gain information on who’s trying to find out more about your home.

If you sell your home on your own, you owe me nothing for all of this. All I ask for in return is that if you choose to list your home with a Realtor in the future, you consider me as your first resource. And if you hear of friends / family who want to sell their home using a Realtor, you’ll give them my information. I’m going to try to make it possible for you to do it all on your own, but the fact remains that in Wisconsin only 8% of homes listed For Sale By Owner actually make it all the way to close.

If you’d like to take advantage of this offer, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Time is of the essence and more buyers are leaving the market than are coming onto the market daily. The sooner you can market your home more effectively, the sooner you’ll start hearing your phone ring for showings.

The BIG question is, What do you have to lose? I look forward to hearing from you!
