I was told that a couple of the people who sold it on their own had consulted a Villages realtor who recommended selling their homes for considerably less than they ended up selling on the own.
Being the market is so hot at the moment. What advantage is there selling a house using a realtor vs using a real estate attorney to write the contract?

We sold our Creekside Villa by ourselves last summer.
We put a large sign in the garage window. In one day we had a buyer. No cash changed hands that day.
I went to McLin and Burnsed (above Starbucks in Lake Sumter Landing and picked up the FSBO package - no charge.
Both parties fill out their portion. We requested that they use Peninsula Title on the form and we asked for 1% earnest money which is held by McLin Burnsed.
Totally painless. 30 days later, we had our closing.
