“This is definitely something that you can do on your own!” said Nancy Gendron. Nancy has just sold her first home privately and was astonished by the savings of a realtor’s commission on her property in Hamilton. Four years ago Nancy sold her first home, and did try to market it privately. Unfortunately, she did not know of the services of Private Real Estate back then, and did end up selling her property with a realtor. “I tried to sell my home privately, however I did not get the exposure that I needed, and running adds in the newspaper on a weekly basis was far too expensive. I have a five year old son that I have to support, and this was not feasible.” Shortly after the sale of her first home, Nancy was informed of Private Real Estate, and knew immediately that if she were to sell another home that this would be the way to go. “Private Real Estate provides so much for a small cost. The exposure of the website, signs and the full colour magazine is definitely what sold my home!” Nancy commented. “The unlimited signs provided certainly drew people in from all directions. My neighbours and friends immediately wanted to know about this Private Real Estate when my lawn sign was installed.” More and more people are coming to the realization that selling a property with a real estate agent is money wasted. Nancy had also said “a real estate agent does not provide the services that Private Real Estate does, and now a days who has the extra “thousands” of dollars to waste?”

We asked Nancy how she felt about conducting her own open houses? “Being a single female I was a little worried so I called a friend to be present with me at the showing of my home, and that made me feel safe.” Also, it was easier for Nancy to conduct the open houses her self because she did not have to find somewhere to go during the showing and worry about what people were doing in her home.

“I can’t stress enough how important it is to have open houses. The buyer of my home came through an open house, and this way I was able to tell them about all of the features of my home.” Nancy SOLD her home in less than four weeks. “If you price your home accurately, then selling it will be no problem” Nancy exclaimed.

Private Real Estate provides a new service where the seller of the home can log on to the website and go into their listing and post their own open houses or make any changes necessary. “It was great for potential buyers to be able to view my open house schedule online or even call me to set up a private viewing.” This made Nancy’s life during selling her home a lot easier and more convenient. Also included in the package is a free consultation with a real estate lawyer who will answer any questions you have in regards to legalities or paperwork. “It was great to know that if I had any questions, there was someone to call.”

“Easy as Pie” is how Nancy described selling her property with Private Real Estate. “Single women can definitely do this on their own! There is no need to be discouraged or intimidated, and I saved over $17,000.00 in realtor fees! This is definitely a service that I would recommend to my friends and family!”
