Work up a professional description of your home. Leave out minutia and stuff that does not matter. Keep it simple and to the point but highlight the best of your house. Use other write-up by realtors or Tv as examples. You only get one time to make a first impression. Post on Talk of the Villages, Zillow, Trulia, and others. For Sale by Owner Guide
A seller's guide to for sale by owner, or FSBO | Trulia
Stage home and remove all the extra stuff and your personal stuff; get a storage unit for a few months. Research other homes similar to your home that have sold to determine a price. The market is fluid, so do the research. Realtors, TV and others, will be happy to value your home in hopes they can list it. There is no harm having 2 or 3 inspect your home and give you a FMV. If bond is paid, make that a plus. People say that does not matter, but it does to prospective buyers.
Take pictures of your home (inside and out) with your phone and upload to TOTV, Zillow, Trulia, etc. Look at the photos and keep the best ones. Try to look objectively at the pictures and see if the showcase the best features of your home.
Piggy back off of TV open homes. Use Open Home signs that are large and easy to read by someone driving by. For the open house, make signs or placards (use Word and 8x11 photo paper) for each room showcasing the best features of the particular area. An easel or plastic holder works great. Set the signs on tables or hang on the wall as you enter the room. If there is something you want to showcase, use a sign with arrows pointing to the feature. Keep the signs clean, simple, and professional. For your first open house, invite your neighbors.
They are nosy and will probably drop by, but specifically invite them. Your neighbors may have friends or relatives that are looking to buy.
As for paperwork, you can find Florida for-sale-by-owner contracts online. If you are not comfortable with that, contact an attorney or closing agent. The closing agent for The Villages will close your sale for you, but they are busy with TV homes. TV closing company may have FSBO documents for you to use.
To sell and to show, you need to be outgoing and confident. It's your house and you know it best. Give yourself 30 days and see how it goes. You have nothing to lose.
We did the above (1st time we had done FSBO) - sold home in 8 days for full price, cash buyer and no contingencies. Buyer was a friend of a neighbor that came to first open house. We had contract ready to fill in the blanks and deal with TV closing company (Peninsula Title I think) set up. Get 5% deposit; it will lock them in. If the buyer is financing, that may be a contingency. Title company can handle any method of payment.
Some may say we sold for too low a price, but we priced it at the top of the market (at that time). We discounted what TV or other realtor would have sold for (6% less) and showed the calculation to the buyer. We basically split the realtor commission - the buyer saved 80%, we got 20% to cover our closing costs. Both sides were winners. We negotiated the furniture.
Good luck and good selling.
Addendum: People will be negative and criticize this or that. People say that the bond being paid doesn't make any difference. Yes it does. It is a big selling point for informed buyers. We sold our house FSBO in 8 days, full asking price, and cash deal, no contingencies. So, the proof is in the pudding. We were fully transparent with the buyer. We told buyer we would have sold for $x if listed with realtor, but we were able to lower the price since we were not paying commission. We did not have to sign a contract for 90 days or more. We did not lock ourselves in with a realtor that may or may not do what we want and get it sold. We did not have to be available whenever the realtor wanted to show the house. The neighbors probably thought we were crazy asking the $'s we were asking, but in the end, the higher price only raised the value of their houses.
BTY, we bought our new house FSBO, and we got a good deal and we were all happy. In both FSBO there was no attorney, only closing agent. We used TV closing company, but when we bought, the seller used an outside closing company. Both closing companies operated about the same.
Do your research, clean, declutter, and stage your home (realtor or FSBO). If we sell our current home, we'll sell it FSBO.
