How to Sell Your House For Sale By Owner

Cons, pros and tips on selling FSBO.

Selling your house, condo, land or other type of property for sale by owner (FSBO) to avoid paying a listing agent commission is  appealing financially and can save you as much or more then 6% in commissions!

The great part about selling on your own, is that you will have complete control over your showings, managing your advertising, listing price and marketing strategy.

Tips:  Before showing, clean thoroughly, have a plan for pets and family, declutter, rearrange furniture to show space, tidy up storage spaces, and DON'T forget the outside!  Curb appeal is the first impression, so  planting flowers, pull weeds, mowing the lawn, rake or shovel snow, turn on outside lights during evening or night showings.
