How To Sell Your Own Home in Maryland? 
Thinking of selling your home yourself?
Thinking on selling your home on your own?
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) There are some people that sell their home the  FSBO way.
The majority of these sellers do it because they know the person they are selling it too. Most often this involves family members or close friends.
But in most cases they sell their own home to avoid paying a commission to an agent.
This is a risky move for anyone to try as it  reminds me of a time when I met one of my clients for the first time..
First, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Fernando Herboso, I’m the broker for Maxus Realty Group in Montgomery County Maryland.
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about this client of mine that had to sell his home and was looking for ways to save money.
He had a dilemma, as he was considering selling his home on his own in an effort to save commission,  but he also knew that selling his home as a FSBO was too time consuming and too risky for him.
Luckily he listened to my presentation as he realized that a very small percentage of FSBO are usually successful.
Why try to overcome the odds and take on the difficulties of creating marketing systems just to sell one home?
I reminded him that my systems were already in place as my company  spends thousands of dollars each month making them run efficiently for all our listings...
That's when I decided to create a postcard that depicts clearly the difficulties for all For Sale By Owner candidates trying to save on commission fees.. .ignoring the facts that it takes time and money to market a home...if you want to achieve the highest value possible.
Here is what we created:
For Sale By Owner

The odds of overcoming the difficulties in selling a home by creating system from scratch.. .simply does not make any sense these days...
This is why my client realized that he had to employ the services of a full time real estate professional, (that is) if he wanted the odds on his side.
I introduced to all my “Home Selling Systems” one evening at his home. I showed him how we were able to attract buyers for our listings as we multiplied the number of showings by 10 in just the first 7 days we had it listed.
The home was SOLD soon after in just in 27 days, and he  was able to save thousands of dollars on commission fees by "NETTING" more money at the closing table.
Should you decide, at any time, that you could benefit from the expertise and skills of a professional Real Estate Agent with a proven track record of success and marketing systems ready to promote your home..
I’m only a phone call away (301-246-0001)
You are under no obligation and I can assure you that our meeting will allow you to explore your options even more so. . .

Should you use a ZESTIMATE to sell your house? 
 I also invite you to watch this video and see how a Zestimates may or may not help you sell your house...

How To Hire The Top Real Estate Agent in Germantown Maryland

How To Hire The Top Real Estate Agent in Germantown Maryland

Deciding to sell your Germantown Maryland home?
A big decision now is to determine how to pick right agent to represent you
Hiring a Realtor® should not be that complicated if you follow certain points

A top real estate agent with the most sales in the area may not be the right person for you.

There were a lot of foreclosures and short sales in the last few years and some agents exclusively represented REO lenders. A complete different way to sell homes than current traditional listing services.

In some cases, you may find what you perceive to be a top agent in Maryland ...would not have the time to speak to you personally and accommodate your needs because he is not available any any time,

I see others making the mistake in hiring an agent just because they belong to a national famous brand.
Just be aware...you are hiring one agent ..not a WHOLE COMPANY!
Don't fall into the virtues of "well known" companies with smoke and mirrors from a brand perspective
Each agent works independently from each other  ..and there are thousands of EXPIRED LISTINGS with FRUSTRATED SELLERS in the MLS from the same companies...thousands!

Just know this...Is not the company that sells houses ...is the agent! 

What about family members or your co-worker that is also a part time agent?

When you are considering about placing a huge investment into the hands of someone to represent you. Your real estate agent better know what he/she is doing, in order to provide you the best service possible to get you top dollar for your home

Your equity is your money 
a lot of money that you deserve to get when you sell your house.
Don't place all that money into the hands of an inexperience "friend" agent just because you feel obligated and pressures to hire them.

Another huge mistake some seller make is to have a criteria of selecting the agent who will tell them what they want to hear...as far as pricing is concerned. Hiring a listing agent just because they say they can sell your home for an unrealistic price could be a disaster for your home.
Your home will become stale and you will never get TOP DOLLAR when you have a history of being on the market for over 100+ days..

Buyers are educated these days, and so are their agents. You will not fool anyone with an overpriced home.

How To Price Your Home To Sell and NOT Fail

How To Price Your Home To Sell and ....NOT Fail 


Pricing Matters

Q: Do Agents Control The‘Market Value’ Price of Homes?

    A: NO!


Agents Just Report Value To Sellers
The job of an agent is to report to sellers what home
buyers are willing to pay for a home at a specific point
in time.
Who Then Controls Price?
Generally speaking, the price of your home is a range
that is determined by condition, motivation, timing
and location.
So my agent and I don’t choose the price?
No, it is a consensus between buyers & sellers who reach
agreement on home sale prices. This agreement is called
current market value…. and all financial institutions
subscribe to this to lend money based upon this consensus
Home prices are not set by a single seller wishing for more money.

"The Stock Market Process Is Similar
To How Home Value Is Determined"

What do you mean the Stock Market is similar? 
This is what I mean . .
The price that you paid for your home has little
impact on the actual value of your home today…
The value of your home is really determined by the
buyers and the amount that they are willing to pay.
Like a stock share. .
Buying investors determine the value of each share
Not the company’s CEO!
If a share is valued between $20-$25 each. .
NO ONE WILL BE WILLING TO BUY IT@ $30 per share!

"Even if you advertise it in the middle of New York's Time Square!"

How To Sell Your Own Home in Maryland

How To Sell Your Own Home in Maryland 


FSBO is an abbreviated form of for sale by owner. 
Sometimes it is also known as Fisbo or Fizbo.
Not really sure how and when this was started, but I can assure you that it wasn't meant as a derogatory term rather than a brief term to describe you.
FSBO are homeowners that want to sell their property without any assistance of real estate agent/company. 



If you're thinking, "I should sell my house without a realtor," the current real estate market and explosion of the Internet has made this possible in the last few years but, 
There are danger and expensive consequences id you are not fully informed of all your options

Pricing Your House Tips for FSBO's

see video below



The decision to sell you house without a Realtor® is one you should make carefully. 
If you're comfortable with the sales process, going FSBO may be an option to help you save money. .but If you're not comfortable with the negotiating process, then you may want to consider using a Realtor® that understands the reason why you are choosing this path.

 Before anything else, your first step should be to at least check out what we offer you inside FSBOpluz.com

We understand!
