You don't get a market price if the market never has a chance to bid on it. </p> <p>I've seen this happen multiple times and it never works out to the seller's advantage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-sale-by-owner-have-you-done-it#post-2584807 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 13:23:15 +0000 youboots 2584807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sold to a family member last year and paid a realtor $500 to handle the transaction </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-sale-by-owner-have-you-done-it#post-2584806 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 13:21:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 2584806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: we plan on doing this, and will use a lawyer as well. Our title company has a great document as well that outlines everything you need to FSBO, so you might start there! It lists out all the responsibilities of each party, and what you need to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-sale-by-owner-have-you-done-it#post-2584793 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 13:06:42 +0000 mediagirl 2584793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: absolutely. I would make sure the buyers handle that and get the attorney scheduled. </p> <p>@avivoca: I'll look up their site.

It's nice to not have to worry about the legal stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-sale-by-owner-have-you-done-it#post-2584774 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 12:54:09 +0000 mediagirl 2584774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had someone reach out to us about our house (not on the market yet) and they have expressed their interest in purchasing it. We would prefer not to use a realtor, if possible. The person who is interested in purchasing is a real estate agent. </p> <p>If you have done FSBO, what resources have you used? </p>
