Anyone on here sold your house on your own instead of with real estate agent?

There are a couple of brokerage firms that may put it in the MLS. Dealing with brokers and people that do not know what they are doing may be frustrating.

Secure a title agent know and have the contract forms ready for when someone comes wants to make an offer.

A friend with family in real estate in CA once told me 90% of FSBO homes end up in some kind of legal proceedings after the sale is complete. FWIW

You can successfully sell your own home w/o an agent. But 90% of the people who do FSBO screw 'em up.

There are a lot of reasons why, but most of the people qualified to do a FSBO, don't.

I did in Massachusetts...but it was 2005 and the housing market was booming. I used a website called

www.isoldmyhouse.com

I priced the home slightly below market to pass the broker savings to the buyer. As it turned out the buyer had a buyers broker who called and asked if I'd pay her 3% . I told her that my bottom dollar price was "X" and if she could get "X+3%" bring 'em over.

The home sold in 10 days... their realtor handled the process. They saved money, and I saved money...it was a win for everyone.

we bought that home in 1997 for $179K and in 2005 sold it for $450+ the realtor's 3% ... oh the good old days when houses appreciated in value


edit: I just checked zillow, and that home is now "valued" at $299K...so in 7 years if they go to sell, they've "lost" 150K
