Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself?: Chesterfield, Saint Charles and West St. Louis Missouri home buying, real estate listings, and homes for sale in St. Louis County, MO
Welcome > For Sellers > Thinking About Selling Your Home Yourself? ...


There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware. 

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to others like it in Chesterfield, Saint Charles and West St. Louis?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a REALTOR®? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a REALTOR®, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a REALTOR®. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Chesterfield, Saint Charles and West St. Louis and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and We'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth. We'll also describe, as experienced, top Chesterfield, Saint Charles and West St. Louis REALTORS®, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. 

Don't price your home by yourself! It's our job to analyze the Chesterfield, Saint Charles and West St. Louis market and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Real Estate Tips
Tax Considerations >Not at ARMs Length

A sale of a house is just a sale, right? Not necessarily. If you are selling your house to your children or transferring title outside the open market, then the transaction may be characterized as "not at arm's length". Since such a transfer may have tax consequences, you should discuss it with a tax attorney or accountant before taking action.

The transfer of title to a son or daughter may cause the parents to lose favorable property tax treatment, require the payment of state gift taxes, or have other unexpected consequences. From a capital gains point of view, it may be more prudent for children to inherit property than to receive it as a gift. The disposition of any real estate should be considered within the entire framework of your tax and estate planning.

For answers to all your real estate questions, consult experienced professionals who are familiar with this area.
