Having a realtor adds a comfort level...but this is 2016. You can get exposure for anything with a little bit of effort. There are a ton of avenues for someone selling their own property.
You saying "little bit of effort" in regards to selling a house pretty much means you've never actually done it. :lol:

"Little bit of effort" in getting it listed in the major areas. I do marketing. It isn't far off.

The other parts of the process? I know nothing about. When I need to know...my sister is a realtor.

Local newspapers, Redfin, Zillow, Homefinder - not much effort required.
Getting listed is such a small part of the process though. No one gets a realtor so they can get listed.

So you have a realtor that will work for free. That's what I've been missing in this whole process!

1) I'd want to do it myself. You know me.
2) If she did help me, I'd pay her.

Neighbor and I were selling at the same time. They had their 1st open house, we stuck our for sale by owner sign out and sold it a week later. Paid 500 to a realtor friend to handle all the paperwork. Pretty painless.

When we bought our house, we drove around the neighborhood we wanted to move to and picked out some homes we liked. We then sent a letter explaining our family had outgrown our old home and would they be interested in selling. 1 responded quickly but it was contingent on them having a house built. That fell through and in the meantime another family contacted us and we ended up buying our current house from them.


This guy gets it.

We tried to sell a home by owner and nothing happened for six weeks.
We gave it to a realtor we knew for 5% and not much happened for a month.
He then jacked up the price by about 5% and raised the commission to 7-1/2%.
He took 2-1/2% and gave 5% to the selling agent.
he entered it into the multiple listings as a new listing.
We had a dozen showings in the next 48 hours and it was sold at the asking price.
That deal ended up making us more money and was a windfall for the selling agent.
I couldn't have done this on my own.
