You either sell your home yourself or you hire a quality agent.  

For those who want to go the FSBO or “for sale by owner” route we started www.austinhouse.net.  This site simply helps you showcase your home–for free–and eliminate common FSBO headaches.

Most Austin FSBOs simply want affordable (or free!) advertising so they can handle all the details of selling their own home.   Austinhouse.net has this specific goal in mind.  It’s as easy as Craigslist but you don’t have to keep posting your home over and over; plus you can post many more pictures.

Will people even find my home on Austinhouse.net?Austinhouse.net is commonly on the first or second pages when people type “Austin For sale by owner” or “Austin FSBO” in a Google Search Engine.    And you’ll have your own URL (www.address) so you can always email this link to any buyer who calls you.

The goal of Austinhouse.net is simple: When your potential buyer knocks on your door, the buyer has #1- seen your home online and #2) they are pre-approved to buy your home and close in 25 days.  As a local mortgage broker we can pre-approve your buyers (at no cost to you) so you’ll know with 100% certainty that they can truly buy your home. No strings attached. No surprises. No Fees. Guaranteed.

Who wants to show their home to a stranger who can’t even buy it?  With Austinhouse.net you’ll only work with pre-approved people who are ready to close in 25 days. It’s that simple. Plus it’s free.

Remember, only pre-approved people should see your home in person.

How Austinhouse.net works: Once your home is on the site, people can see your home online before seeing it in person. You control everything about your ad since you create it. 

Eliminate tire-kickers:  Let’s say someone calls you and asks about your kitchen or backyard.   Show them! Just give them your home’s custom  URL address and tell them you’ll post additional pictures.   Only pre-approved buyers should see your home in person.  

Then when your potential buyers knock on your door, they’ve already seen your home and they are pre-approved.  This makes your For Sale By Owner experience easy and stress-free  And there’s never a fee to you- the seller- for us to pre-approve your buyers.  

My buyers already have a letter of approval for their mortgage.  Did you know a buyer can show you a pre-approval letter and still not qualify to buy your home?   Do you think your buyer will always tell you they need to sell their existing home before they can buy yours?  There’s big difference between a pre-qualification letter and a pre-approval.  When mylendingplace.com issues a pre-approval letter we’ve reviewed all income/assets statements.    If someone tells us they want to put 10% down, we verifiy this money before issuing a pre-approval letter.

These are some of the common headaches we’ll solve for FSBOs.  

Bottom line:  When you get an approval letter from mylendingplace your buyer will close in 25 days.

Many FSBOsthink the title company will take care of the details like the buyer’s loan–since this is where the closing takes place.  But unless the title company receives mortgage documents from a bank there won’t be any papers to sign at closing.  

Mylendingplace can do all of your buyer’s verifications and lending –the title company will simply prepare the final mortgage documents.

It’s a true win/win/win.

Win for YOU because you only work with pre-approved buyers who can buy your home in 25 days.  Plus you save a ton of money. We can even help reduce your seller’s title policy.

Win for the buyer because they get into a home without having to pay a higher price for the home.

Win for us, mylendingplace, because we help another family buy a home.  By the way, mortgage people make money from the buyer’s mortgage–not the seller, so there’s never a fee to you.

There’s a 97% chance your buyer will need some sort of mortgage to buy your home,  it might as well be from us since we are a local Austin mortgage company who works with all the name-brand banks like Countrywide, Wells Fargo, Wachovia.   We work with all types of buyers with all types of credit backgrounds.   From millionaires to first time home buyers who need 100% lending.

The next step is asking your buyers to visit or call www.mylendingplace.com.  Our phone number is  512-996-8194.

 PS.   During the FSBO experience, if you would like to interview a few experienced real estate agents, just call us–we’ll be happy to refer you.   With over 9K agents in Austin you owe it to yourself to work with someone who specializes in your specific neighborhood.
