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

As I wrote on a different subject line, we just sold our home by owner in Michigan. It's a horrible market here, but our house is on a lake, which makes it desirable for the right people. There were two other homes on the lake, and people drove by our house to see theirs. We sold it in less than two months. The buyer had his realtor do the paperwork (he didn't have this realtor show him our house, but the realtor is going to sell their home). When we have the closing, they're having GMAC do all the work and we're not paying for anything. We could have a lawyer look over everything, but we feel comfortable. Since the buyer is working out of the country until April, part of our deal is that we get to live here rent free until then. I would love to find a house at TV that is for sale by owner and get a better deal by avoiding the realtor's costs. If anyone knows someone near Sumter Landing that has a Lantana for sale with a golf cart garage (not on a golf course - too expensive), send them my way!
