Best ways to bypass realtor fees?

[Mason Aitken]

Hello All!

I was wondering if you guys had better ways to sell properties for less? I have a cool little place I am rapping up a rehab on but am cutting it close with realtor fees. I'm not trying to get rich but would also like to not loose money. I would love to pay people for their service but I'm cutting it so close I may not be able to. I mean no disrespect to the awesome realtors out there. I am also not a licensed realtor yet. Here were some options I have come across and wanted your guys opinion:

-sell to opendoor/offerpad. Huge (7%) fee associated with this option.

-sell conventionally with 6% fee. listed on MLS

-sell to unrepresented buyer. $2000 and have a realtor friend who will manage the sale/contracts for buyer and seller

-sell to represented buyer. $1000 plus 2% to other agent. Property will be listed on MLS and my realtor friend will manage the sale/contracts for buyer and seller.

Definitely open to other creative thoughts.
