Selling your house without an agent, aka for sale by owner (FSBO), includes things like setting the right price, staging your home to attract buyers, taking professional photos, getting it listed, and managing multiple home showings. Then you’ll have to sift through offers (hoping you don’t pick a dud) and negotiate the price and contract contingencies by yourself. If the buyer wants you to fix something on the house before closing the deal, you’ll have to decide whether to invest the money to fix it or lower your asking price. In the end, for sale by owner isn’t usually worth the stress. You’d be better off selling with an agent. Besides, an experienced, full-time agent more than makes up for their commission by helping you sell your home for more money than you’d be able to sell it for on your own.
