Are you downsizing, upsizing, relocating for work, or simply tired of home maintenance or life in the neighborhood? For whatever reason, you’re ready to sell your home in Northeast Wisconsin. Well then, are you considering For Sale by Owner?
In our experience, For Sale By Owner only works if you already know someone who wants to buy the home and is willing to pay top dollar. Express Realty encourages Green Bay-area homeowners to reconsider the For Sale By Owner real estate model.
5 Myths & Facts Regarding For Sale By Owner
Selling a Home at the Best Price
Myth: I can save a lot of money by not hiring a real estate company and instead selling my home myself, advertising the home as For Sale by Owner.
Fact: For Sale by Owner real estate can actually decrease the amount of money you’ll earn on a home sale, compared to working with a professional real estate agent.

Due to her real estate knowledge and experience, she often receives multiple offers on the homes she sells. She performs a Comparative Market Analysis and gets top dollar for homes on the market in Brown County, Oconto County, Outagamie County, and Winnebago County.
Marketing Like a Professional
Myth: I know my home and neighborhood the best. Therefore, I should be capable of marketing and selling my home myself.
Fact: Of course, you know your home and neighborhood the best because you live there. But you might not know how to advertise the home to the ideal buyer, professionally photograph the interior and exterior for maximum impact, or create a marketing plan to find the top-paying buyers. Express Realty is a licensed real estate company that has been getting top dollar for homes since 2008.
