For sale by owner

[Andy Pillinger]

Hello all,

I am going to sell my house this spring and when i do the math the commission is going to be around $45,000. This is the first time i am selling a property and it just seems a huge sum!. i can find buyers from Zillow as the market is very hot here and can get an attorney for all the paperwork. Has anyone got advice on selling a property as FSBO and should i be even venturing down this path?!.

thanks

Well, it always looks good on paper, "I saved 3%, which equals....". But you never know what price you could have gotten with the property on the MLS, and the 80% or so of all the buyers out there that never knew your house was for sale.
