**I just decided to put my blog up so it is "live" although I still have several posts I want to write that are in the draft stage, so some of the live posts may refer to a link (ex. see more here) and the link doesn't go anywhere yet. Sorry About that, I'm working on it!
Hello, my name is Jenny and I am going to tell you as much as I can about selling your house FSBO (For Sale By Owner). I won't bore you with my resume except to say I do have some background in real estate (but have never had a real estate license) and I recently sold my own home FSBO.
Some of the posts will not be new to you. Hopefully this is not the first time you have heard that you should clean and declutter and that your home needs curb appeal. I will write posts about that stuff and they will be my own original posts but they probably won't hold a ton of original material, so I will try to classify these as "Basic" and note that in the title. Feel free to skip over them if you already feel like you've read too much on those types of topics.
I hope to add more interesting and detailed information that you have not read before or may not be familiar with, like how I handled security issues, setting appointments, dealing with aggressive real estate agents, where to advertise, and how not to spend more on advertising then you would save not using a real estate agent.
Just to warn you, selling your home on your own can be hard work. While some people can stick a homemade sign in the front yard and have competing offers within a week, not everyone lives in a market that is so easy. I'm going to try to break it down into simple, easy to understand categories but it can be time consuming.
Lastly, a disclaimer: IANAL (I am not a lawyer). It is up to you to do your own research on what is and is not legal and/or allowable in your HOA, city, state, etc. While I won't purposely tell you to do something illegal, something as simple as placing a sign in your yard could be a problem in certain areas.
Let's get started!
