Maximize Your Profit: Essential Steps Before Listing Your FSBO Home

For Sale By Owner Steps My Home, My Sale

Thinking of selling your house? It's exciting, but also overwhelming. Real estate agents focus on staging and pricing, but what if we told you there is another first step that saves you time, stress, and potentially money?


Flip the Switch: Knowledge is Power


Before diving into open houses, let's get organized with these key actions:


  • Know Your Bottom Line: Order a mortgage payoff quote. This reveals the exact amount you owe on your current mortgage, including accrued interest.


  • Unlock Your Equity: Obtain a title report. This document verifies your ownership and checks for any liens or claims against the property.


  • Closing Cost Clarity: Research typical closing costs in your area. These include fees associated with selling your property.

Mortgage Payoff vs. Balance: Why It Matters


Your mortgage balance is the remaining principal you owe on your loan. However, the mortgage payoff quote includes the balance plus any accrued interest up to the closing date. This difference can significantly impact your bottom line.
