House for sale by owner websites question !?

i need to sell my house asap. not through real estate though.


do you know any really good websites i can post my house on, that isnt so expensive?





anymore advice you can give would be highly appreciated :)House for sale by owner websites question !?
I don't want to sound rude, but if you do not even know how to advertise your house, how will you do all the official paperwork involved in selling real estate? Do you know all the disclosures you must provide? Do you know how to respond to an offer (how to make a counter offer?) What legal forms to use? Everything must be in writing, when selling real estate...


It's not that simple to sell a house yourself, and also it's not that simple to do the paperwork.


Unless you know all this, get a Realtor, or get yourself in a huge mess.House for sale by owner websites question !?
I'll add one more point to the excellent points posted by others. When you advertise ';For Sale by Owner';, the first thing out of the mouths of the buyer will be ';Of course you will knock off the brokerage fee, since you're not paying one.'; And then they will proceed to hack 6% off the price they intend to offer to you.





Buyers want that commission savings in their pockets just as much as YOU do.
Realtor is right...if you have to ask a question like that, then you really shouldn't be selling the house on your own.





If you go cheap, you are going to get screwed.
Craigslist or Pennysaver on-line ads are free.





If your truly in a rush to sell. You might try AUCTIONING your property. Auctioners usually charge the buyer an additional 5% of the purchase price and little cost to the seller. Usually seller needs to advertise or prehaps do it yourself.





Good Luck
Lauren if you had to file a law suit against someone,wouldn't you use someone with the expertise to help you and make sure all the proper documents were handled correctly? If you had a toothache wouldn't you see a dentist? ???? Need I say more. I know it cost money to sell using a Realtor, but they know your market, they have the expertise to handle the entire transaction for you. You can post on Craig's list, you can post on Zillow.com and Forsalebyowner.com all you want. But I myself - a Realtor tested all of them with my own house, and only received two offers, One from Hungry, they wanted me to tell them my bank account number so they could wire me the money without seeing the house. The other was from somewhere else, and said their attorney would contact me for my ban account numbers.... So you are in much safer hands with a Realtor and let's face it, how do most buyers buy homes? Through FSBO's? I think not.





If you ask for good advise, I hope you'll take it.
