I would like to sell my home myself in a fast-moving neighborhood. But really don’t want to pay a real estate agent. Is there a way I can put it on the local MLS for a fee? I’m sure it will sell quickly and I may consider giving the buying agent a commission. But due to the low value of the home, I doubt a listing agent will represent it well or lead buyers to it. I don’t want to pay him/her a commission he/she doesn’t deserve.
I know a listing agent can be beneficial. The problem is there aren’t any good ones in my area. I don’t need assistance in marketing my property. Most houses for sale like mine aren’t featured in the local publications. Agents focus on the expensive houses. Often I see selling agents encourage the sellers to take a low ball offer. I know what my house is worth and what the ones in the area are selling for. I know what I will accept for the house. I know what to disclose about the house as well. Like I said houses in my neighborhood move quickly. The FSBOs go just as fast as the ones listed. Thanks to everyone for their input.
