Home and Auto Selling a house without an agent - Page 4

**BigRichard** · 09-16-2018, 12:40 PM

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?

People fsbo their homes in high-demand areas all the time. Look up your area on Zillow and see what it’s like in your market. It sounds like you are starting from zero knowledge since you are asking on CP. Find someone who’s done it, get advice and recommendations on an experienced fsbo attorney. Post it to Zillow, sign advertise. In a hot market finding a buyer isn’t hard, getting all of the sale terms and docs is and you can screw yourself royally and end up wishing you’d have paid the realtor.

I mean he can walk up and punch buyers in the face and they will still hand him a blank check and ask that he writes down whatever amount that satisfies him into the line and submit

The question wasn't whether I was going to do it without an agent, that was already decided. The question was on the legality of making a buyer pay his own agent fees. I don't know if it is legal or not but from what I have been reading I believe it is. If it isn't legal I can simply just say we won't accept people with an agent.

Sounds like a strong ass plan! I too would tell 95% of the buying market to lick a bag of dicks, too.

Did you even read the ****ing question geniuses?

BryanBusby · 09-16-2018, 05:56 PM

No, we read the OP and following posts. That's why we're making fun of your stupid ass.

Already know what I have to do to sell it and have done the research on the value. I had one simple question which several geniuses on here can't seem to comprehend(not aiming this at you). They seem to think this is the only place I come to ask for advice and/or do research. Chiefsplanet does have a lot of people that tend to know some things about a variety of topics. Apparently this isn't one of them.

Please show me where I asked if I should list with an agent genius? Seems like there is some reading comprehension problems for ya.

We're going to be looking to get over $200k for ours as well, and yeah, $12-14k is hard to justify when houses are selling themselves. I'm sure I could find a buyer just by putting a sign out front. And if someone thinks it's overpriced...well, try to find something else like it in this area. There really isn't anything comparable. We're in about as good of a location as there is in Omaha.

BryanBusby · 09-16-2018, 06:02 PM

Yeah dude, your plan is ace as ****. Tell the buyers with agents to **** off.

Why would you intentionally drive down the pool of potential buyers?
