FSBO - How to sell quick for top dollar?

Question

Hello!

Unfortunately I'm in a tough spot financially and need to sell my home quickly.  That being said I want to get the most possible for it.

Would you guys recommend under-pricing it to get more offers and suggesting that people have already offered over asking?   Price at value, or high?

It's a nice So Cal Condo going up in value lately, and I'd love to keep it but unless I get a real nice job soon, I don't think that's gonna work out.

It's at 4140 Workman Mill Rd. #25, Whittier, CA. 90601 -  Thoughts?

Also how difficult/easy is it to complete the FSBO process on my side as seller?

At least use a discount type, listing service to get in the MLS. You'll pay about 3%, but otherwise you'll miss about 90% of your buyers.

Not accepting a full price offer can land you in court. Better check your "baiting laws" in your state.

Set the price at what you will accept, most FSBOs are over priced as sellers often set a price on need or want, not the market.

Lying about offers will surface, if you can't go at it ethically, list it and sell.

You tell someone you got higher offers, they may well say take it! Then when they come back, you'll need to lie again as to why you didn't sell. That lie can often be checked out, any current appraisals done, any payoffs given. Once you lie, you won't be trusted, that can be a high price to pay for consequences in this business.

If your asking price isn't met, don't accept that one.

Usually adding "must sell" or "make offer" lets people know you're willing to negotiate.

If it's priced right, it should sell. :)

If i were selling it alone I'd under price it. U don't have to accept the offers that come in.
