Helpful real estate info for fsbos -- from Flavia Brown

June 08,2023 | Posted By Flavia Brown in Real Estate

Hi: I’m not trying to get your listing, although I would be glad to help get your home sold if will ever be in your best interest. Meanwhile, I might be able to attract a good buyer if you will pay my broker fee at close of escrow and if you allow me to promote your home. Promoting and finding a buyer will probably be a good and timely idea because L.A.County prices are expected to decline as much as 10% in 2023 and interest rates will continue to increase to help curb inflation. As interest rates increase, many buyers will no longer qualify to buy. Whether your yes or no regarding me promoting your home, I can help you in the following seven ways, and at no cost or obligation to you: 1) do an extensive comparative market analysis (CMA, or comps) to be sure your asking price is accurate; 2) review/analyze offers in your best interest and help prepare counter offers; 3) explain the paragraphs in the purchase agreement that will most likely be presented (C.A.R. form RPA), or any purchase agreement; 4) selling and marketing tips; 5) host one or more open houses if you like; 6) give you my Word doc detailed precise separate buyer and seller steps in a real estate transaction; and 7) assist in finding or creating a good deal on a replacement home after you sell.
Hot news: After you sell your home and find a replacement home, you can make an offer with no deposit or proof of funds. That means you won’t need any upfront money when making an offer. I will explain if you like.
By the way, here are the state-mandated seller disclosures (per California Civil Code 1102.6). They apply to all 1 to 4 unit properties, whether listed or fsbos: Transfer Disclosure Statement (form TDS) (most important), Seller Property Questionnaire (form SPQ), Natural Hazard Disclosure, Smoke and carbon monoxide detector disclosures, Waterheater bracing disclosure, Lead-based Paint disclosure (if dwelling was built prior to 1978), Megan's Law disclosure, and the Preliminary Title Report.

P.S. During my 17 ½ years as a full-time Realtor and 257 closed escrows, I never had a complaint and my DRE record is spotless. My transactions run smoothly and problem-free, thanks partly to my exceptional transaction coordinator and my business partner/husband with 27 years of real estate experience. I could have had more transactions, but I prefer to be at a comfortable level where I can provide exemplary service rather than seeing how many listings I can get. My exemplary service and fiduciary duty to sellers includes getting the highest sold price the market will bear, and I accomplish that with my strong and effective marketing program that is better than 95% of all agents’ marketing.

P.P.S. I wrote more than 50 real estate-related blog posts. Most are informative and helpful. Visit homesbyflavia.com and click “Blog." Also, I just finished writing a real estate book unlike any other. It will be on Amazon soon, but it is in Word doc format at this time. Let me know if you want a copy (free).
Your questions are always welcome. Please contact me via phone, text, or email, and advise if you would like me to promote your home.
