Hello. My name is Oliver. My family and I have just moved into our new home. It’s a very exciting time for us; this is truly our dream home! My wife, Julie, and I purchased a small cottage when we first got married. We sold that cottage and bought our last house after our first daughter was born. We just sold that house as well and bought the one we're in now. I tell you this because I sold our cottage on my own. I had been told that I would save a lot of money selling by owner. I am here to tell you that I will never do that again! We listed our last home with a broker, and it made a world of difference. I’m going to share details about each sale and explain why I wouldn’t recommend trying to sell your home on your own.
