It used to be that, when people wanted to sell their homes,
they would contact a realtor, list the home through that realtor, and then let
him or her do the dirty work. And, while there definitely are still some people
who rely on realtors, more and more people are choosing to make selling their
homes a “do it yourself” project.
Take, for example, a recent report from Zillow.com, a home
listing site. The site, which posts both seller and realtor listings, has
reported that the number of people who sell their homes without the help of a
realtor has doubled from 2012 to 2014.
ForSaleByOwner.com, a similar site, also reports growth,
noting that the number of people who sold their own homes increased by 24% in
2013.
Anytime you sell your home, it’s wise to seek financial
advice, but that’s especially important if you’re doing the hard work on your
own. Wealth management advisors can keep you from selling your home for too
little or making other mistakes that you’ll later regret.
Remember, your home is an asset, a piece of your wealth, if
you will, and before you part with it, you want to let a qualified wealth management firm help you do it right. In Naperville, that firm is Platinum
Financial Associates.
