You can ask. Most buyers will offer less deducting for the commission. Negotiations will determine selling price. Comps are easy in TV since the houses are similar, upgrade values known. It’s a buyers market now, unless your home is on a great lot or offers some other desirable features it may take a while.
If you do FSBO use a RE attorney for the contract, not a title company or Internet blank that isn’t reviewed by an attorney. It’s critical to have any contract reviewed. You’ll need to decide if you’ll offer an agent who brings a buyer a commission and how much.
