Enjoy Retirement
[QUOTE=retiredguy123;2079551]Read Post No. 22. If you pay someone to advertise and negotiate the sale, then how is that a FSBO? Also, as a buyer, I wouldn't feel comfortable if a non-attorney and unlicensed person prepared the contract and conducted the closing without a title company. If something goes wrong, who is responsible? I think that both the seller and the buyer are better served by using a licensed title company to handle the contracting and the closing.
I've been in the mortgage biz for many years. Using a realtor does 2 things; it creates a larger selling arena, and it takes a lot of "work" away from you. If neither of these two things are important, and especially in this market, by all means do a fsbo. Also, don't discount using an outside realtor, instead of a villages sales person.
If you are shopping for a title company to handle it all for you, check out State Title. In fact, you can tell them you know me, Bruce Hancock, and they may help you out a bit.
