18 Questions For Every Home Seller (Part 15)


Oresy.com

Traditional sales online have the advantage of using web marketing techniques to augment the familiar sales process of price - advertise - show - wait for offers. The downsides, as we know, are significant costs (including compensation for brokers and agents that is rarely proportional to their contributions) and an open-ended sales period. Auction-based sales are unfamiliar to many sellers, and can also be very costly given the steep up to 10% fee charged by most auction services. The upside of auction-based sales: accelerated transactions rather than open-ended waiting for offers, the sense of urgency inherent in the process that drives buyers to make competitive bids, and a variety of auction types.

Oresy.com allows you to leverage both traditional and auction-based options while minimizing your cost of doing business. The site’s traditional listings are free and auction services are far cheaper than other major auction options.

So are you ready to save thousands in fees while nabbing an optimal price for your property and selling it faster? That’s our whole sales pitch, because as long-time professionals in online systems and real estate, it has been clear for some time that homeowners could us an open portal to avoid middlemen and connect with serious buyers just as many do when selling a car themselves.

But real estate is a bit more complicated than Buicks: inspections, tax issues, and complex financing are just a few of the barriers to going it alone when selling a property. So we created the “Online Real Estate SYstem, or Oresy.com, to streamline the process of traditional and auction-based transactions. We offer discounted professional services if and when you need them.

In the pages that follow, we’ll outline the selling options and the steps you’ll need to take online. Our service supports both strictly FSBO (“For Sale By Owner”) folks who take over most of the duties of a listing and selling broker, as well as those who don’t want to hire a pricey broker but need help with some aspects of the sale.

Traditional listings on Oresy.com

Registered users can post property listings for free on the site. You will enter the address, specify square footage, number of bedrooms and baths, and age of the property. Also enter a description complete with highlights and upload photos.

Specify dates for upcoming open house events and specify an asking price; keep in mind that because this is a traditional sale listing, prospective buyers will make offers at, above, or below this price.

You’re done when you click “Save & Checkout” but you can update the listing with new information at any time. Of course this is really just the beginning; once the listing “goes live” you are strongly advised to market the property elsewhere both online and off. And you can go back and enhance the Oresy.com listing at any time -- unlike many services it is yours to modify at any time.

Still wondering if you have pulled out all the stops to market your property? Oresy.com charges a nominal fee to assist with your online marketing efforts: we can create and post YouTube videos, optimize search results for your listing, and expose your property to potential buyers worldwide.
