If you want to sell your home with or without agents or realtors, clean it up, get rid of junky looking stuff, inside and out and make it look like a magazine as much as possible. You may like shabby chic but downright junky is asking for failure.

Personally, I would go FSBO to sell a home in TV. No Realtor or Villages agent is needed if the house is priced right, clean and well presented.
More and more homes are being sold FSBO all over the country. Friends of mine just sold their house in Hawaii FSBO, no problem.

For villas or houses with lots of drive by traffic I think I would try FSBO, and if that didn’t work out I’d go with the Villages, as they seem to do well with homes under $500K. Over $500K they seem to flounder a bit, and there is where I’d go with an MLS realtor.

As others have mentioned...I would go the FSBO route first.
My second choice, would definitely be a MLS Realtor over what is not much more than a 'checkout counter person'...under the VLS system. As for Judge Judy, and maybe it's just a career hazard of reality television personalities, I find her arrogance and of being able to always control that which is shown and not shown...as often being just plain nasty. |

Do VLS agents fall under the Florida real estate commission? You are correct that the agent has to present all offers.

If you want to sell your house, get rid of the junk, inside and out and stage it prettily. This may be the time to buy some stuff to replace the old stuff you have. Spending some money and doing some work will pay off with faster sale and bigger bucks. This is general talk. The OP already knows this.
I like to look at pretty homes; home staged nicely - Bing images

When we listed our home in the Kansas City area this spring, our realtor/friend had a staging specialist come in and give us ideas. We took her suggestions, which were quite reasonable, and decluttered a few thing, moved some furniture to make the home look more open, repainted the front door and area, put some excess furniture in storage, painted the deck railing, etc. The house was shown once, garnering a $10,100 offer over list price. I would have gone the FSBO route as I have done three previous times, but we needed to sell in a relative hurry. Our realtor, who has sold six homes to us and our children gave us a reduced commission price as well.
