QUESTION : How can I sell my home without a real estate agent?

ANSWER : Selling your home on your own is entirely possible. It does require significant effort and thorough research, but it can be done. Start by gaining a clear grasp of your local housing market.

Determine your home’s current value “as-is.” Don’t assume it’s worth a premium just because you find it attractive—many sellers overestimate based on personal pride, thinking “it looks better than the neighboring properties.”

Pay a one-time fee to list your house on the MLS. Develop a strong marketing strategy to showcase the property. Hone your negotiation skills to handle offers effectively. Host open houses and prepare to address the challenging questions that buyers may ask.

Finally, make sure you’re fully informed about all applicable real estate laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
