Buying or Selling a Home Without a Realtor? We Can Help.
Are you looking to purchase a home that is being sold directly from the owner? Perhaps you are an owner looking to sell your home without having it listed by a realtor? If either of these answers are yes, then you should at the very least make sure you include a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator to assist in the process.
What does ‘For Sale By Owner’ Mean?
‘For Sale By Owner’ (FSBO) is a technique used when a seller of a home decides to list their property by themselves, without the help of a listing agent. There are many websites that offer assistance with those who want to sell their own home, such as the website For Sale By Owner. However, for the most part, the owner of the property has decided to not use a realtor to assist them in marketing, preparing, or being the “Listing Agent” on the transaction.
If You Want to Buy a FSBO Property
If you are interested in buying a property that is directly being sold by the owner, you will still need to be pre-qualified or pre-approved most likely in order to visit the property. The owner may require a letter from a Licensed Mortgage Broker to prove to them that you have been pre-qualified to purchase their home. That’s where Maple Tree Funding comes in! We will pre-qualify you and provide you with the necessary paperwork AND the knowledge to assist you with your home purchase. The buyer of the FSBO property follows the same steps as if the property were being listed by a realtor, they will need to be pre-approved for financing and obtain a mortgage to secure the property.
If You Want to Sell a FSBO Property
If you are an owner and have listed your property for sale on your own, let us help you with pre-qualifying buyers BEFORE they come see your home. Having a pre-qualification letter from Maple Tree Funding ensures you that the potential buyer has been vetted through a formal credit check as well as an income and asset analysis. You will want to make sure that your potential buyer can in fact buy the home for the price you have it listed for. We will provide the necessary paperwork to your potential buyer that acknowledges they have the means to purchase your home.
