The process worked ok for us, but what sold our property was a referal of a neighbor to the eventual buyer.
One warning, we received three "offers" for our house sight unseen, from people in England! These were scams that were designed to get us to provide money, before they finally "paid"! Watch for that.
We take great lengths to protect the privacy rights of our customers. We take this issue very seriously and offer our customers:
- A “hidden” email address service in which emails sent to sellers are filtered through a sophisticated spam and fraud system.
- A voicemail service that allows a customer to record a message for buyers to hear and receive messages from potential buyers.
We also suggest that people put their phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry (www.donotcall.gov), which makes it illegal for real estate agents or others to contact you for the purpose of soliciting your business. And, of course, our business policy is to never sell your email address or send you spam.
Great information, This can be very usefull....

Buying a property that uses by owner method is no less scary than working with an agent. In any sales process the buyer and seller should obtain the following items:
1- Market comparables to understand prices;
2- A professional, independent appraisal (which all banks/mortgage companies will do);
3- A professional, independent inspection (both parties should get one to ensure every one understand the condition of the house);
4- Each party should have their own legal real estate attorney or title company to review and complete the paperwork.
Again - whether you a buying a house with RE agent or direct from the seller, you should get these 4 things done to make sure you safely purchase any property.
Selling and buying via the For Sale By Owner method can be simple and direct if you follow simple steps. There is no need to be scared - Thanks.
Great comments following this article!
Thanks!
I've bought and sold houses on my own and with agents, and I've had success both ways. In tougher markets, such as the one we're in right now, a good agent can sometimes offer ideas to help sell a house faster than you could do it on your own. The trick is to find a good agent.
Selling your home on your own isn't very difficult. A discount broker can get your home listed in the MLS for a few hundred dollars, and the buyers' agents takes care showing the property. Then, when you have a contract on the property, the title company takes care of the settlement docs. There's really nothing to it.
It's important to know the real estate process so you can avoid fraud and other scams.

My family has been living in a rent to own house for almost six years and I'm glad to say that we will soon be the owners of this house in less that three years.

Selling property is fairly serious and nerve-racking process. If seller or buyer has stable psyche then it is acceptable but if someone usually are very emotional that would be better to use service of real estate agent. I know that because my mom sold their flat and during the process she lost weight and become very nervous.
I'm only brainstorming here but if i was ever to sell my property, should i make it as presentable as possible by adding timber decking in Perth? I have read about some tips online that i could get more out of my investment if my house looked rather nice.
