Default Re: Has anyone tried For Sale by Owner on a house?

Yes, I sold my house myself when I moved from Jacksonville to TV. Wonderful! I found an attorney who handles the sale of homes. Asked him how to handle the deal and he told me to find myself a buyer and then send the buyer to him. He prepared all forms and handled the closing. I paid less than $500 for the whole thing. I never had an open house. I put a sign on my lawn, had a buyer ring my bell and ask to see the house. First person who looked at it ended up buying it after they had their inspector look it over for them. The buyer was happy because I did not add onto the price the money I would have had to pay to a realtor. He got a deal and I got a fair asking price. No haggles.
