The work
Preparation, pricing, marketing, showing access, follow-up, offers, and deadlines need a clear owner.
For sale by owner
Selling it yourself is a real option. Understand the job first.
FSBO can offer control and possible fee savings. It also makes you responsible for strategy, marketing, access, buyer screening, negotiation, and coordination.
The risk
Safety, disclosures, financing, contracts, title, and local requirements still matter without an agent.
The support
FSBO does not have to mean doing everything alone. Define where legal, title, photography, or other qualified professional support fits.
