Personally Vegas Bob would Never purchase a Home For Sale By Owner

Lately Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has been seeing more and more For Sale By Owner signs, homes listed on Zillow, Trulia and several other real estate networks.

And I have been wondering why?

Personally I think that Homes For Sale By Owner are a liability. Why would buyers buy from and owner when the services using a Real Estate Agent are FREE?

When purchasing a home straight from a owner (not) using a real estate agent it would be a wise decision to hire an attorney to look over the contract, run the purchase through title to make sure there are no liens on the home, make sure the property taxes are paid and up to date, make sure there in no capped well, sewage pipes, septic system, foreclosure on the home and so much more.

Many years ago Vegas Bob use to purchase vacant land, vacant lake lots and even vacant commercial properties.

But for some reason I would never purchase a home straight from a owner.

 It's not because I am a real estate agent myself. 

And don't think that because the home owner is not using a real estate agent that your going to get a smoking deal.

BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU EVER PURCHASE A HOME FOR SALE BY OWNER!

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has come across different websites and networks for For Sale by Owner like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia just to name a few.

And I have also come across networks and platforms offering home owners to list their homes for $99 dollars and some other low price and might be catching people wanting to sell their homes.

I have had family members and clients asking me what about owner financed or rent to own?

My personal opinion is I wouldn't trust a home owner vs getting a mortgage, there are so many things that could go wrong. And For Sale By Owner, well I am very unsure about this unless you have a attorney present and then things can go wrong.

I say support your local Realtor and no just because I am one, but because when buying a home there are so many factors involved.

There could be liens on the property!

A person could try and sell a home to you that they don't own!

With out the knowledge that a professional Realtor has, I don't think I would ever purchase a home without using one.
