Retail buyer
Often seeks conventional financing and may request inspections, repairs, an appraisal, or closing-cost help.
For sale by owner
Find the right buyer, not just the first response.
A FSBO seller may hear from retail buyers, investors, or agents. Some people will ask for different terms. The important part is knowing who can perform and what each proposal means for your final result.
More buyers to reach
The right buyer may not come from another yard sign.
Some buyers use a standard mortgage. Others ask about lease-to-own, seller financing, or a direct sale.
Direct buyer
Buys as-is and takes on more of the work. Compare the lower preparation burden with the proposed price.
Buyer requesting terms
Lease-option and seller-financing proposals require clear documents, buyer qualification, and professional closing support.
Keep control of the conversation
Do not sign because someone created artificial urgency. Ask for the full proposal in writing, check the buyer’s ability to perform, and use the title, legal, lending, or servicing professionals appropriate for the transaction.
