If you decide to sell your home, and if you choose to put an FSBO sign on your property, as opposed the sign donated by a realtor, then you need to prepare for the placement of that sign. You need to get yourself ready to become a successful seller. You must transform your desire for a buyer into a winning FSBO strategy. Six simple steps can guarantee completion of that transformation.
The first step is easy—set a specific goal. If you have decided to sell your home, then you already have that goal firmly fixed in your mind. Once you have found a buyer for your home, then you will know that you have fulfilled your goal.
The next step requires a bit more thought. Next you need to establish a specific time period in which you plan to achieve your goal. If you are being forced to sell your home, then you have already learned about your timetable. If you are not under pressure to sell your home in a hurry, you still owe it to your neighbors to limit the amount of time that a “for sale” sign stands on your property.
