Once again I agree with Steve from NY - I was a licensed RE broker for over 10 years (my father was for over 35 years) and neither of us would ever try to sell our own home or sell FSBO. There is so much to know and deal with that I would rather pay 3% and let a full-time professional handle it. They can screen for qualified buyers who can get a mortgage, be sure that your sale is not contingent on the buyer's home sale, and importantly handle those low offers that, as Steve said really can tick you off, while being the go-between for all communications. It will save you a LOT of aggravation, trust me.
The family next door to us got 3 free appraisals, priced it high, tried the FSBO for 8 months and now have lowered the price 20%, but the good potential buyers have seen it sit too long and are now suspicious. We got 3 in-the-range offers and sold within a month for a realistic price. Well worth the 3%. Good luck and let us know what you decide :bigthumbsup:
