Why Buy From Me Directly??

Dear BP Community, 

I just sent out my first round of DM marketing! I am wanting to compile a list of additional expenses a seller would have to pay if they decided to list their property on the market instead of selling it directly to me. I figure the best way to get a great deal is to show the seller why the numbers make sense. I plan on walking them through the pain and struggle (and expenses) of listing a house for sale on the market with an agent. Below is the beginning of my expense list for listing a property, please add in any additional expenses you can think of that the seller may have to pay or any additonal heartache they may have to go through! Thank you all!

- 6% real estate agent comission

- Cost to repair home to get it market-ready

- Constantly having strangers walk through your house for showings

- Having to vacate the house during showings
