There are no additional fees for DIYoffer; DIYoffer is an a la carte service where you decide what extra services you need. We have made it easy for you to connect to these services through our Service Directory under Preparation.
Some services that are recommended are:
You have two options to assist you, which are:
Just bear in mind that a REALTOR® is not a neutral party; when a REALTOR® assists you in selling your property, the REALTOR® is a party in the transaction and there is the potential of being biased. Hiring a Property Appraiser will cost you but there is peace of mind to know that there is no possibility of any conflict of interest.
Check out our Service Directory under Professional.
Doing a DIY real estate service is not the right fit for all, so saying that, when is it not the right fit?
There is no set answer since each property is different; saying that, the answer is a question back to you:
If your employer/boss came to you and indicated there was a big project that needed to be finished, and if you could commit 3 or 4 extra hours a week, for a couple months, if the project was completed you could potentially earn a bonus of half of your salary, would you do it?
These days smartphones have great camera capabilities, and the iPhone 11 & 12 have wide-angle lens capabilities, which will allow you to take a full room picture. Another alternative is you can hire a professional photographer for a few hundred dollars.

Yes, a lot of the Photographers/Marketing Services also provide video or drone photos.

It is to your discretion on how aggressively you want to attract an offer from a REALTOR®. If you are open to accepting an offer from a REALTOR®, it is recommended to call your local real estate association/board to determine the fees for your local area. That way, if you truly want to accept an offer from a REALTOR® you won’t be losing out.
Yes! This is when the seller sets a specific date and time and will review all offers together. This is a technique often used to increase the chances of having multiple competitive offers, resulting in higher bids. This is ideal for a brand new listing just on the market. If you want to try this method, keep in mind that you may or may not get multiple offers, in which case you would then accept an individual offer on a first-come-first-served basis.
