1st of all I am a Realtor.
The biggest problem that FISBO's (for sale by owner),have in selling their own home is making sure they have all the right paper work, forms documents, and requirements taken care of so down the road they don't find themselves in a legal problem with the buyers if something should happen to go wrong.
Of course your home will be advertised to a much broader market than what a FISBO can do.
National staticics show that the average FISBO homes will receive less after all expenses including commision because buyers take advantage of sellers selling on their own.
I could go on but these are probalby some of the
high points.
