The key to selling your house as an unrepresented seller is to be properly prepared. If you do not take time to research the current market, prepare the house for sale and decide on the marketing strategy, your house could remain on the market for longer than you expect because you’re not attracting and getting offers from qualified buyers. You must be ready to handle all the aspects of the sale before you present your house to the world and that phone starts to ring. Consider what it will take and how much it will cost you to effectively market your house. Assemble all the necessary materials - "For Sale" and "Open House" signs, professional photos, seller's disclosures, effective listing description and all legal documents before activating your listing.
While doing the work yourself can save you the 3% fees of the listing agent and potentially another 3% of the buyer's agent, flying solo may not be the way to go and could end up being more costly. Buying or selling a house is a major financial (and emotional) undertaking. On average, 90% of FSBO will eventually list and sell their house with an agent. However, there are sellers who successfully accomplish their goals. You can be one of them!
