Safety advice When your a FSBO

As a FSBO (For sale by owner) there really no need to be more concerned when selling a house or any other type of property than when your with a agent, to be fair you should take the very same level of
Precautions as you would if you were going out with friends and you new in advance that you
would be returning home by yourself, the same level of precaution you would take with your
children if they were going out to maybe the cinema or even a friends birthday party.

These are the basic common sense we drum into our children our family and friends. Rest
assured that there is really no need to be overly concerned than in any other part of your
daily life, if you were meeting some one for the first time the sensible thing to do would
be to make sure you had a phone number of the person you were to meet, in the same way
having a phone number would be a sensible measure, it would be nice to have not only a mobile number but also a land line number, you could even insist on one.
Another thing you could do would be to verify the numbers you are given, don't be afraid to do this because when you sign up to any credible site on the internet you have to verify your E-mail address.
A way to do this would to immediately phone the number back saying you just wanted to double
check a piece of the information they had given you or you can always be straight and inform
the perspective buyer that you will check their information, you can even give the prospective
buyer a call the morning of the viewing to make sure they still intend on turning up and to make
sure there no problem with directions etc.

Try to make sure someone is with you during the viewing
If you are showing a property it's always advisable to have someone with you while you are showing to perspective purchasers around. Its only common sense that if it is possible to have your partner a friend, a member of the family or even a neighbour with you if only for moral support. Apart from the safety side it can help you to feel more confident having someone with you that you feel comfortable being around. If that not possible then to maybe have a friend ring you during viewing and confirm that you will be meeting up with then after your viewing (you say "I'll see you in 20 min) make sure you are heard by the viewer.

Know in advance who you are dealing with
Always check to see if anyone will be with the person who is viewing your property, and if so,
who it is, this is so you'll know in advanced what to expects before hand and can make preparation
in that.

Don't give out unnecessary personal details remember you are selling your home not yourself, give
them all the information pertaining to the property i.e. the condition things that need doing
and why you are selling, but you and you property completely separate and should be kept that
way on the first viewing.

Let the people know
Let a friend or neighbour know that someone is coming to see your home. Give the name, address
and telephone number and the time of the person will be viewing.
Let the viewer know that your friend or neighbour will be dropping by in 20-30 minutes, and
arrange with someone to do so. Let the friend or neighbour know that if you phone during the viewing, they should come immediately.
If you are uneasy, phone the friend or neighbour you have arranged to pop in so that they
come immediately.
