Last year 80% of all home buyers searched for their home ONLINE and 85% of all home buyers used a REAL ESTATE AGENT!* *Statistics Source: National Association Of Realtors Press Release 11/11/2006 Not using a real estate agent, means you must attract a buyer from the remaining 15% of available buyers. Effectively selling real estate today requires a High Tech Marketing approach, which means not just one website, but multiple websites and multiple advertising vehicles. To compete, a for sale by owner must be aggressive with their price and that is where we can help. Don't price your home by yourself! You may leave your information below and we will provide you a no-obligation evaluation. 
First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay
The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.
One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.
Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.
