Do it Alone, or Use a REALTOR?

Do it Alone, or Use a REALTOR®?

The fact is, most people who try to sell their own home end up using a REALTOR® in the end anyway. Before anybody decides to fly solo through this complex, time consuming and financially perilous process, they should consider these questions.

Will you really “save” the real estate commission?
When buyers see a home for sale ‘by the owner’, they see a bargain. They imagine the REALTORS® fee going into their pocket, not yours.

Are you familiar with real estate law?
Complicated and ever changing, real estate law governs nearly every phase of selling your home.
One wrong move and an entire deal can fall through, or worse, a lawsuit can ensue.

How many potential buyers will you reach?
Selling a home takes more than just hanging a “For Sale” sign. How will you promote your home? Will you write your own ads? How will you use the Internet, knowing that you’ll have no inside access to www.mls.ca and therefore will not be able to post your home on this service?

Do you have the time?
Promoting a home is a full time job, and you may already have one. Will you be able to take calls at any time? How about screening the callers to figure out if they’re qualified to buy your home?
Not everybody who calls is even suitable to walk through your home, but how do you tell?

Do you know the market well enough to get the most for your home?
Lacking years of experience, the average do-it-yourselfer is merely guessing at their listing price. Often they set the price too low and miss out on thousands of dollars, or they price their home too high and drive away willing buyers.

What about your selling skills?
If the personalities of prospective buyers rub you the wrong way, can you still deal with them effectively? What about your own defensiveness when you hear negative comments about your home? Best to keep it at arms length through a REALTOR®.

Do you have the negotiation skills to keep a deal on track?
When an offer comes in, emotions can run high with so much money on the line. This is why direct seller-to-buyer deals often end in disaster. REALTORS® keep it professional and are indispensable when it comes to bargaining with buyers.

Even before becoming a Realtor®, Frank Giralico knew a thing or two about houses. Home construction had been a family business, giving Frank a hands-on understanding of how homes are built long before he made the transition into buying, selling and leasing real estate. With a firm belief that a home is the cornerstone of every family, Frank combines an outgoing personality with a tireless commitment to his clients. Since beginning his career as a Sales Representative in 2008, Frank’s extensive knowledge of construction techniques is complemented by his degree in Finance and his background in accounting. This unique combination allows him to provide clients with comprehensive, practical and well-rounded advice throughout every real estate transaction. Equally experienced in residential and commercial real estate throughout Toronto and the surrounding regions, Frank’s true specialty is listening to his clients’ needs and working tirelessly to ensure those needs are met. His experience, knowledge and proven record of success demonstrate a high level of professionalism, but it is his genuine people-first approach that sets him apart. Frank treats his clients like family and believes that successful real estate is about more than buying or selling a property—it’s about building relationships, earning trust and helping people turn their real estate goals and dreams into reality.
