@Chris Sweeney thanks for your advice. My friend disclosed that paying for the MLS was considered legal and an option most homeowners who want to sell their own homes do I had no idea if that was pricey or a reasonable fee Again I am not fully educated in all aspects of real estate, defiantly want to make it somewhat simple for myself and not end up loosing money by making mistakes. Appreciate your helpful tips!

Thank you everyone, I forgot to mention that I have a real estate agent/friend who gave me the option of paying 200/300$ (cannot remember exactly) every 30 days to have 100% access to the MLS, I am working on my real estate license but we want to sell ASAP because the market in our area is at it's peek.

Hi there, I am new to this forum and was highly recommended by real estate friends to ask questions on this website.

My husband and I are strongly considering trying to sell our home and buy a new one without real estate representation. I am not a real estate agent but I am currently taking courses to obtain my license in real estate. I won't have it completed most likely by the time we are ready to sell our home. For the past year we have read any book we can acquire in regards to house flipping, selling your own home, and buying. I would appreciate any advice in regards to selling our own home.

Is it worth it? is it legally a risk? We have a few friends in real estate who have encouraged us to do this on our own but a few have warned us of legalities and the issue of being unable to sell/buy a new home concurrently. I have no issue hiring a real estate agent but our goal is to profit as much as possible obviously to use some equity toward a new home purchase and for property investment. Having a hard time with the idea of paying 5 percent to an agent if we can do it ourselves.

We live in California, and plan to buy in the same area. My question is..is it worth it to sell your own home? Thanks in advance to any advice!
