I see you choose to go with another agent...GOOD choice with the amount of homes for saleright now in park west(175) and a number of contingent sales(43) that could fall through and be back on the market. Selling on your own could ost you alot of time money and cause you heart ache in the end when you have to get a realtor in the end to get the job done. You are moving in the right direction for sure. Now with Carolina Park up and building right next door you have a ton of homes you are competing with...some being BRAND NEW construction so make sure your house stands out from the others in every possible way...curb appeal(this is big), finishes in the home, price, condition of the over-all home, price, make it as warm and inviting to buyers remove alot of your personal touches and family pictures so the buyer can really see themselves there, have a great flyer with wonderful pictures of the inside of your home, 24 pictures on the MLS, be on every website possible(that's where the buyers are). Oh and did I mention price? This is the #1 tool you have in your box of tricks price it well the first time have them beating the door down to get the deal you are offering.Good Luck Juliana and Chrisopher

I love when agents come in and tell you that your house is overpriced but then proceed to say but I would love to sell your home.

pilottug,

You may start as a FSBO anytime you like after the expiration of the listing agreement. HOWEVER, read your listing agreement very carefully. There is a section in it commonly referred to as an agent protection period. This protects the agent from you selling to a buyer who found your property through the agent's efforts after the listing agreement ends. This period of time could be anywhere from 60 days to possibly even a year. This can be a little bit of a gray area if you sell as to how the buyer actually found the property and when. I would try to get a list of protected buyers, or a full release from the managing broker, otherwise if you get lucky and pull this thing off, your former agent might be at the closing with his/her hand out. If you can get a list of protected buyers, you would be able to contact the agent and have him/her finish earning the commission that you will probably end up paying anyway, should one from that list end up buying. Most likely you will not receive any cooperation in this matter, so make sure you can document how the buyer actually found the property, if it was through your efforts only.

Below are two links. The first one is on doing a FSBO. In case you have second thoughts on that, the second one may help in you choosing an agent that may get the job done for you. Good luck on whatever direction you head.

One more thing: Understand the market. The loan market for your sales price is drying up. Only clients with excellent credit and 20-percent down payment (which is $160,000 at your sales price), the buyer will be unable to finance this property. If you have questions about marketing your property feel free to contact me.

Mt Pleasant is a very targeted market. You need a Realtor that specializes in your area. The market is slow, and only agressively priced (almost underpriced) homes are really moving right now. The best thing to do is to re-list your home with a Realtor. Maybe the one you had is not the one to re-list, but you're doing yourself a disservice if you're not using a professional who understands the Charleston/MtPleasant markets.

You can simply sign up for a Falt Fee MLS listing for a small fee of $349. This places your listing on the MLS and then trickles to most home seach internet sites for you. One step and one small fee gets you up and going. If you decide that a "For Sale by Owner" isn't for you....you can switch over to a full service and receive your MLS fee back. Visit "The Homeowner Center" for more details and Good Luck!

In the current real estate market, pricing is the most important factor. Based on comparable home sales in your immediate area, your home is overpriced.

Hi pilottug -

You have to claim the home first on the website and then take down the posting to remove the agent's information. Here are the steps to take down the posting after you claim it:

1. Log in to your account on Zillow and pull up the address.
2. On the home details page, click on "Edit status".
3. On the next page, remove the URL from the related website field.
4. Then choose "No longer for sale" from the drop down list and hit on "Create your listing".
5. After doing that, you may post your listing on the website as FSBO.

Additionally, your home was posted via an automated data feed. The responsible agent has to remove your home from the source of the feed so that it will not be re-posted on the website. I have already informed the agent about this concern.

Thanks.

so are you going to try to do it for sale by owner? I would recomend that you dont because you use the mls service which is where alot of your consumers, go when buying a home! If you do choose to sell it on your own I would recommend that you a lot of online marketing. Also do some research maybe get the advice of at least two other Realtors to make sure it was priced appropriate maybe all you need is a simple price reductio.

hope this helps~
