Buying real estate without an agent

First time and seasoned real estate buyers can save thousands of dollars by purchasing "For Sale By Owner" properties.  The usual 6-8% realtor commissions are built into a sellers price when they use a real estate agency and multiple listing service.  When you buy a "For Sale By Owner" property you control the buying process, offer price and conditions, and the buyer services.

Purchasing Requirements

The two types of home/property buyers are those who use a mortgage and those who pay with cash.  Both types can be used with a For Sale By Owner purchase.

To use the mortgage purchase method, buyers need to prepare and position themselves correctly so mortgage lenders can finance the Southwest Florida purchase.  To learn more about mortgage companies and the qualification process go to Mortgage Resources.  You will be able to contact a local mortgage company who understands the Southwest Florida real estate market and can help with the pre-qualification process.

Buyers who do not need mortgage financing are positioned well for the For Sale By Owner properties offered at SWFLORIDA4U.com.  Many sellers do not live in Florida, and desire quick, no hassle property sales.  There are also sellers who are pressured to sell quickly because of bankruptcy or family problems and this presents a great buying opportunity for cash buyers.
