You can definitely sell your home on your own...why pay the ridiculous commissions to a realtor? I've sold 2 of our villas & many homes for my friends in The Villages. I have some very good friends that are realtors & they agree that is the way to go if you are able. I used to be a real estate paralegal in Ohio & have looked into the FL law so I actually draw up the contract for you & do the negotiating(if you don't want to be involved), advertise on the free websites, conduct an open house if you need 1 for only $1,500! I also have connections with a Title Company if you need one. I used to do title work, prepare docs & perform the closings in Ohio, so I do have experience & enjoy doing it on the side, since I'm only 62 & am not able to work because of several health issues. Give me a call @ 513-222-2981 to chat! GOOD LUCK!!!

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?
