How To Sell Your Own Home… Without a Realtor

Selling your home or property without a realtor is a popular option for a number of homeowners, particularly in these challenging economic times and most especially when it comes to teardown or redevelopment property candidates. In many cases, the option to sell your own home directly can save tens of thousands of dollars. With realtors typically charging anywhere from 5-6% of the sales price, the sale of a $500,000 home can cost a homeowner anywhere from $25,000 to $30,000 in fees – regardless of your net worth – that’s real money.

teardowns.com was founded on the premise that the market lacked an efficient way to facilitate the sales of properties by homeowners looking to sell their house without a realtor. In particular, home/ property owners who have identified their homes as teardowns or land-valued redevelopment opportunities often preferred to sell directly to builders or investors avoiding the inconveniences of preparing their houses for the marketplace and to save on expensive realtor commissions. This "by owner" process, however, deprived sellers of the type of exposure, competition and market research they needed to attain a fair price for their property. The only other option available to such homeowners was to hire a real estate agent, which necessitated the homeowners agreeing to prepare their properties to "sell as homes" and incurring expenses for repairs and updating, as well as having open houses, showings, inspections, etc. And, the end result of that process often was for homeowners to pay 5-6% sales commissions simply to have the home purchased by a local buyer for renovation or demolition.

The teardowns.com marketplace offers a unique solution to both of these dilemmas that allows you, the homeowner, the opportunity to sell your home without a realtor; however, the teardowns.com exchange is open to all market participants, it does not restrict any participant from using the marketplace for buying or selling - buyers and sellers are free to use agents to help facilitate their transaction.
