Selling without an agent.
My wife and I have a house we are planning to sell. It currently has a tenant in it with a lease expiring at the end of June 2022. We could just contact a realtor to list it for us and sell it retail. We really want to minimize any rehab and carrying costs incurred during the time that it is on the market and the time needed to close. We are open to the idea of selling it without a realtor to avoid the commission of $25k +. We could discount the retail price (based on comps) by the 6% sales commission if we could avoid paying an agent.
Any thoughts on this dilemma? Many thanks.
