Good luck.
Why not just list the house at a slightly higher price than what you actually want, and then don't bother with refusing to pay a buyer's agent? You could avoid this problem completely.

The agent would get paid, it would just be from the buyer and not me.

Seller always pays the fees. Your the one with the product. The agent is doing you a favor and bringing you a buyer and you want to try and hose them over?

Once again, the agent gets paid it just wouldn't be me paying them. If it is true that seller always pays fees then I will just post it as nobody with agent need apply.

Seller always pays fees... where is that written? That is more or less the question. Legality vs how you feel about something.

As long as it is legal, I can do whatever I want.

That is not true. Especially in this market.

That is really the question, is it legal for me to state that the buyer has to pay his own agents fees? My wife said they looked it up when they sold their moms house and you couldn't do that but I can't find anywhere it says you can't.

Well like i said earlier, this would deter alot of buyers agents from showing the home to clients then.

You're going to have a harder time, but it's doable. It really depends what you think your house is worth.

My wife(with her brother and sister) sold their mother's house by just stating they were not going to accept anyone with an agent to avoid the fees. They sold her house in a very short time. I didn't know if that was the best route or if you could just say agents are fine as long as they know they have to cover the fees. Anyone know the best way to handle this?
If you have to ask this question in the first place, you're probably better off letting a professional sell your house.

The normal % that a realtor gets or splits is either 6 or 7. So you are asking that the buyer pays your $100k and then also pays the other $6 or $7K. Why not just ask for $110,000 and not have to worry about any of the BS and have a licensed professional cover your ass because you are most likely not knowledgeable with all the legalities.

The Realtor fees are ludicrous if the sale price is high, so it's tempting. However, I'll confess that if I see a "For Sale By Owner" sign, I assume that the house is overpriced.

If your area really is a seller's market there is no reason to list it at first. We sold our first house on our own after posting it in the newspaper. It sold the first day.

We hired a lawyer to handle all the paper work. He charged $125 and the ad in the paper was like $150 for two weeks. That was in 1996 though.
