Selling a house without an agent
 

The wife and I are about to put the house on the market. Houses in our area are selling in a couple of days of being put on the market so we are not going to get an agent. We believe we will be able to sell very easily without one. My only question is the buyer's agent. Can you state the buyer has to cover his own agents fees? 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?

Step 1 - Post a thread in the middle of a game.
Step 2 - Get absolutely no responses and get buried after the post game reaction.
Step 3 - Profit.

Exactly :D

Cheap ass ****ers.

You must be an Alex Smith loyalist

I hope you aren't being serious? Why would I pay for something if I don't need to? Especially something that usually ends up being thousands of dollars.

Kinda curious about this myself as we're wanting to put ours on the market soon. Even in a slow market homes in my area pretty much sell themselves. I'm also wondering if buyers expect a lower price on by owner sales since they know the seller isn't paying commissions.

Why should we pay a seller's agent thousands of dollars just to throw it in the MLS and wait for a sale?

I'm guessing he's a realtor.

Yeah because that is all they do is just sit and pray for a buyer. :rolleyes: Other than all the money they pay in advertising.

Do you normally pay thousands for something you don't need?

Yes

my wife is an agent. She says no Buyers agent will want to show the home to a client knowing they wont get paid and have to cover their owns fees.

Good luck.

For every one time that works there’s 500x it doesn’t.

Use Redfin or something if you can and want to save money. Doing it yourself is like trying to be the 1 in 1,000,000. Really.
