Selling on your own

Selling Your Own Home

More and more homeowners today are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner), foregoing the help of a real estate agent. Selling your home this way can save you a significant commission (the industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price). Additionally, many FSBO sellers feel they have more control over the selling process since they are essentially making all the rules.

According to the National Association of Realtors, over 70% of homebuyers now use the Internet to search for homes. Therefore, if your house isn’t online, it should be. That’s where we come in. With our Online Property Presentation feature, we provide you with an effective marketing tool to get your home in front of potential buyers on the web.

Interested in finding the right sales price for your FSBO home? Call BlackDog Appraisal Inc. today to schedule an appointment with a licensed appraiser.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Order an Appraisal: Request an appraisal via our website.
  2. Report Completion: Once the report is complete, we can publish a summary page of the appraisal to our website (with your permission).
  3. Unique Webpage: A unique URL is created for your property address, which you can use in all marketing materials. Your webpage will be displayed as an attractive, animated listing brochure, similar to those used by real estate agents.

Your webpage will include:

  • Contact Information: Prominently displayed so potential buyers know how to reach you.
  • Property Details and Highlights: Information on community demographics, school districts, unique amenities, and other features you wish to highlight.
  • Appraisal Summary: A detailed summary of our complete appraisal report and a link for potential buyers to download it.
  • Location Map: A downloadable map showing your exact property address.
  • Virtual Tour: An impressive virtual tour featuring all photos of your home included in our appraisal report.
  • Email Link: An option for potential buyers to email your webpage to a friend.
