Your FSBO Sale, Week by Week
As a homeowner in Virginia, you're likely facing a daunting task: selling your property without an agent. With the 'buyer beware' state's Residential Property Disclosure Statement and fast non-judicial foreclosure process, timing is everything. If you're considering selling by owner, or FSBO, it's essential to create a plan and stay on track. At Parlevu Global Services, our cash home buying company, we've helped numerous homeowners navigate the process and close quickly. Here's a week-by-week guide to help you sell your Virginia home by owner.
Week 1: Preparation and Disclosure
In the first week, gather all necessary documents, including property records, receipts, and maintenance records. At Parlevu Global Services, we handle all closing costs, so you won't need to spend a dime on repairs. For example, if you sell your $300,000 home with a 6% commission, you'll save about $18,000 in agent fees.

Week 2: Pricing and Marketing
In the second week, determine your asking price based on comparable sales and market trends. As a cash home buying company, Parlevu Global Services takes a more streamlined approach, closing in 7-21 days. This means you can avoid the lengthy conventional listing process, which can take 30-90 days.

Week 3: Marketing and Showings
In the third week, start marketing your property to potential buyers. At Parlevu Global Services, we handle all marketing efforts, including online listings and social media promotion. This allows you to focus on preparing your home for showings. In practice, this means making any necessary repairs, staging the interior, and ensuring the exterior is clean and well-maintained. For example, if you sell your $400,000 home, a 6% commission could be around $24,000. Our cash offer is presented within two business days, giving you a significant advantage over traditional listings.
Week 4: Closing and Follow-up
In the final week, focus on closing the sale and following up with potential buyers. At Parlevu Global Services, our experienced team handles all paperwork and ensures a smooth transaction. This allows you to move forward with your plans, knowing your property is being taken care of. In practice, this means staying in touch with your buyer, answering any questions, and finalizing the sale.
