Gimme some advice about selling a house.


Jul 21, 2016, 12:40 PM

My plan is to list my shanty on craigslist for a couple weeks before resorting to a realtor. I ####### hate realtors and can't believe they haven't gone extinct in the Information Age like travel agents. Do I have anything to lose by trying to sell on my own first?

I'd try zillow.

I put one pic of my house on Zillow I took from my beat up potato Note 3 and had an offer in 4 days.

No realtor needed.

Craigslist will get you a ton of people looking for

rent-to-own. Zillow will be better.

I will give you $7.00 for it right now.

my limit is $4

I still think I can double that $7.00.


Jul 21, 2016, 12:48 PM

But I'm an incurable optimist.

You can possibly also shop around for a realtor


Jul 21, 2016, 12:46 PM

let them know you are listing it yourself and you just need someone to advocate for you and handle the legal stuff and see how low a commission they will take. I know of some places that will do hands off realtor on the cheap.

A lot of towns have a DIY type realtor who will take a

fee of $250-500, list the house on MLS for a certain amount of time, and funnel all the contacts to you.

The only thing the realtor really does that requires any

skill is filling out the contract correctly.

All the paperwork and costs are performed/calculated by the closing attorney.

Selling my house on my own was probably the most stress free transaction I've ever had.

correct---the MLS exposure is the only value I was

referencing.

I would definitely get your place on the MLS


Jul 21, 2016, 1:40 PM

If you don't want to resort to paying the 3%, then I would look for a company that does this discounted. Do you have Redfin in your area? I think they charge 1.5% There is also a company in Atlanta area callled Duffy that charges a flat fee and a very small commission, but I think they are local.

But yes, also get it on Zillow if you can't find a realty company that will list it for cheap
