The opening of the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season is now upon us and if you live in a hurricane zone and you are thinking of selling your property or real estate you are probably rather anxious to get it sold and get out of dodge just in case a major category hurricane hits your area.

Should you try to sell your home by owner and go with a twenty to thirty day escrow? You could try to sell your home with a professional real estate salesperson and company, but if you do you will pay high commission fees and chances are you will not be totally satisfied with the price, which you get personally.

Nevertheless it might be faster to sell your home through a real estate agent if you're in a hurricane zone, as that may be a factor for you. However it might also be better if you do it for sale by owner because you can make deals and save the commission to the real estate salesperson as a bargaining chip tool due to the amount of money it would be to make the deal close.

Whatever you decide I do not envy you trying to sell your home by yourself or through or a real estate agent if you live in a hurricane zone or in the great state of Florida, which I now call the ultimate sandbar. After the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season who knows what will happen this year, so good luck of selling your home and 2006.
