With interest rates at almost 7% and homes on the market more than 60 days ? Were you planning on selling for what other homes in your neighborhood sold for with a realtor? or do you plan on selling at a lower price because your not using a realtor and passing some savings on to the buyer to make it more attractive to a buyer ? Be prepared realtor's and sales people will be calling 3 or 4 times a day . People make appointments for a showing all the time and not show up. Make sure all of the ittl'do things are actually done people do notice things you think they want . Good luck

I'm the first to complain about their ridiculous Commission structure, but they're a necessary evil. I've bought & sold 50-60 residential properties and a slew of commercial properties in my job. Only 3 or 4 times was a sale consummated without a Real Estate Agent and without exception, they were aggravation. 26 FSBO vs. Realtor Facts and Statistics to Know 7 Essential FSBO vs. Realtor Statistics to Know in 2023 - Orchard Quick Real Estate Statistics FSBO vs Realtor: What They Don’t Tell You For Sale By Owner Homes Sell for 14% Less - 2022 Report : Real Estate Agent PDX https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/for-...me-yourself-in |

Then you're going to use a non-professional (R.E. Agent) to do a Lawyers job? I"m sure there are quality, YouTube videos on "how to pretend to be a lawyer" and "how to become a real estate Broker in 30 minutes". I can't wait to hear the result. |

In the villages, you can quickly do a search for your model and see every home for sale that is comparable. I actually think a case can be made either way, it depends on the situation. A $25,000 commision is a LOT of money.... (based on a $500,000 house).

Title Companies
We bought our first house (Patio Villa) directly from friends that were selling it.
We had mutual agreement on the price, saw no need for a Realtor, nor their commission. We accounted for what the commission would have been when we agreed on the price. We used *****ula Title (that's The Villages title co.) They handled it just fine. After living in our Villa for 3 years, we found house #2, sold our Villa to our daughter. Again, no need for a Realtor, had a mutually agreed upon price (less Realtor commission). Again used *****ula Title, handled just fine. Both sales worked without needing a Realtor, as we knew our friends well. Selling to Daughter was quite obvious not to need a realtor. I have nothing against Realtors since they are of value for many sales, but not for these sales. We did buy house #2 thru a VLS agent. It really depends on who you might be looking to sell to, if a Realtor is appropriate. P.S. We used Mclin Burnsed to complete all the offering paper work, escrow, etc., they even have an info. package, that you can review in advance. They handle a lot of these daily. All went very well using them, of course they do have a fee for their service. Not huge. Last edited by DALEPQ; 07-13-2023 at 10:25 PM. Reason: added info. |

If you are selling it yourself, you don't need an agent, just a title company. The 1 percent would be a waste of money. Real estate agents don't get paid to do paperwork.

I am looking for a patio villa preferably close to Buena Vista and 466A in the event this is the criteria of your home. It could be north or south of 466A.

I used Tri-County and they were horrible. You do all the work they collect all the money. The property was involved in a divorce settlement and I could not get them to do anything for me.

We sold 2 homes in the Villages without a realtor. Used Mclin Burnsed. They handled everything. Realtors told me I could never sell without them. Both sold quickly. People are standing in line to buy.

The average time it takes to sell a home in The Villages, has tripled since June of 2022. There aren't that many folks standing in the line. |
