Does selling without a real estate agent work? Selling your own property is something that some people try to do themselves. Some people feel that by not consulting a real estate agent that they can save money on fees to the agent. While to an extent that is true, unfortunately, the money that might be saved on fees to an agent is too often lost by not getting total value for your property.

One major disadvantage of selling your own property is that buyers are often reluctant to contact an owner selling a property directly to negotiate on price. This is often because the potential buyer does not want to offend the owner of the property. Another risk in going alone is choosing an unsuitable price for your property. Too high and you might struggle to generate interest and get the property sold in the timeframe you wanted. Too low and you may sell the property quickly but at a lower than possible return.

A real estate agent may know of future developments or changes to an area that could generate better value for your property.

Are you familiar with conjunction selling in real estate? Conjunction selling is utilising the services of multiple agencies to promote your property at the same time. Conjunct selling as it is sometimes referred has several advantages. 

It can lead to a healthy competition between the agencies to find a suitable buyer for your property but of course must be set up correctly to ensure everyone is working for the same goal.

A big advantage of conjunction selling is that it increases the amount of prospective buyers viewing your property because you have the combined promotion and advertising of more than one real estate agency. Best of all, it doesn’t need to cost you anything extra and it can definitely produce some excellent results.

Of course there are certain situations when conjunction selling works best and I'll be the first to admit it is not always the best solution. I am pleased to say that I have been able to successfully implement conjunct selling a number of times and I do know of several Real Estate Agencies willing to use this technique. If you are interested or have any questions about this potentially effective selling technique please contact me for more details.
