F.A.Q's
Should I sell my home privately? What are the benefits?
It's true that selling a home or property privately is not for everyone. After all, you are doing the work of a real estate agent. You do all the advertising, you deal directly with the buyers and run your own showings. But when you think about the thousands of dollars in commission which you are saving, isn't it worth the extra work? By following a few simple tips, selling your home can be both easy and enjoyable. No one knows your home better than you. This enables you to answer questions which may just make the sale of your house. Answers which may not be readily available through an agent. You may have agents approach you claiming that you wont be successful, but with a little work and lots of advertising, you may find that you sell your home sooner than you think.

What does the service include?
  • Listings Yard Sign.
  • Unlimited word ad written by the owner.
  • Unlimited number of pictures to showcase your home.
  • We will come to take your pictures at no extra charge.
  • Advertisement updates as needed.
  • Lists your home until it is sold.

    Do we pay Essex Kent Listings a commission upon the sale of our property?
    Absolutely Not! We are not agents or brokers. We are an advertising service. The only money we receive from you is the one time fee charged to include your property on our site.

    What is the benefit of advertising my property on EssexKentListings.com?
    The benefit of advertising your home with us is the exposure we provide for your property. Because we are exclusive to the Essex and Kent Regions, our listings target potential buyers looking for property in this area. Buyers will be able to view your home 24hours a day, 7 days a week. This will help to direct the more serious buyers to your doorstep and avoid wasting your time with those who are just curious.

    Do I need a lawyer?
    Yes, you should contact your lawyer as soon as you decide to sell your home privately. They will draw up all the papers necessary to proceed with selling your home. If an offer is made, you will take the papers to your lawyer for inspection. Your lawyer will then review with you any discrepancies or things that should be changed before accepting an offer.

    What do I do if I decide to forgo a private sale and list with a Realtor? Can my property remain on Essex Kent Listings?
    Absolutely. You have paid to advertise your home for sale until sold, and that is what you will get! The only difference is we cannot update info that includes realtors name and phone number UNLESS they are an advertiser on EssexKentListings. In turn, this means you will still field your own phone calls, which you will then pass along to your agent or broker..
