For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Help
Yes, you can sell your home without a real estate agent. With new technology and the internet, we will see more FSBO's. The level of difficulty and risk to the parties varies by state. Here in Colorado, FSBO sellers have more risk compared to other states due to Colorado's standard 19 page contract that is too long and complicated and very one-sided against the seller. However, with the right help, you can be protected and have a great experience.
Why would you want to sell your home by FSBO?
1. Save a pile of money by eliminating the real estate commission.
2. You have sold or bought by FSBO before and it was no big deal. If fact, you may even say it was a "A Piece of Cake".
3. You like doing things on your own and enjoy the challenge.
What are your FSBO options?
1. Do everything on your own.
2. List your home on a website that markets FSBO listings such as Zillow or other FSBO websites.
3. Hire an attorney to assist you. Very smart and something that I will always recommend; however, remember that the attorney will only assist you with the contract and legalities of the transaction and not the actual marketing of your home.
4. Hire me.
