buyer feel good about and nothing comes back to haunt you in the
future.

Would you require a professional’s help with
the disclosures for your home?
If you said “Yes”, then give me a call at [phone]. I
have all of the necessary disclosure forms and can help you fill
them out.

Here is what will happen after you contact me.
I will come out, take a look at your home, and show you
how I can help you sell it. Best of all it won’t cost you anything.
In fact, many sellers actually make money hiring a Realtor
to sell their home. Here are a couple of real life examples:


Brandon had his home on the market for $220,000. He
wasn’t getting much activity. The buyers who did look at
it were not serious.
They showed little interest in buying the home and made
lowball offers on his home. He listed his home with an
agent for $240,000.
3 weeks later he received an offer and the buyer agreed to
pay full price. He actually ended up with more money in
his pocket, even after paying the real estate commission.



Jimmy & Kaye had their home on the market for
$380,000. It wasn’t selling. After a few months they hired
a Realtor and increased the price to $420,000.
A few months later the home sold for $408,000. They
actually made more money, even after paying the real
estate commission.

Now, do these stories happen every day? No. Does this
happen to every For-Sale-by-Owner that hires a Realtor? No.
But, they happen more often than not. In most cases the
agent can sell the home for more money than the seller could sell
