Worth Considering

The Honest Trade-Offs of Selling It Yourself

FSBO works well for some sellers, especially those with time, patience, and some familiarity with contracts and negotiation. It's worth going in with eyes open about where it tends to get harder.

Pricing without an agent's eyes on it is the biggest risk. Price too high and you'll sit on the market losing buyer interest as days pass; price too low and you may leave real money on the table. A CMA — even one you get for free from us — helps close that gap.

Paperwork and disclosures carry real liability. California requires a number of specific seller disclosures, and getting them wrong isn't just a paperwork problem — it can create legal exposure well after closing. A title company or real estate attorney can walk you through the current required forms for your situation.

Buyer's agent commission is a conversation you'll have either way. Most buyers working with an agent expect that agent to be compensated somehow — it's worth deciding up front how you'll handle that instead of being surprised by it mid-negotiation.

Curious about the numbers? Rather than us quoting statistics that can go stale, the National Association of REALTORS® publishes an annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers with current, sourced data on how FSBO and agent-assisted sales compare — worth a look if you want the real numbers.

None of this means FSBO is the wrong call for you. It just means having a second set of eyes — even informally — tends to pay for itself. That's what we're offering here, free.

The FSBO Checklist

A practical run-through of what tends to matter most, organized by stage. This isn't legal advice — for anything disclosure- or contract-specific, a title company or real estate attorney should have the final word.

Before You List

✓ Get a real pricing opinion — from us or another source — before naming a number.
✓ Walk the home like a buyer would. Small fixes now beat renegotiations later.
✓ Ask your title company what disclosures apply to your specific property.
✓ Decide upfront how you'll handle a buyer's agent commission question.
✓ Line up quality photos — this is usually worth paying for.

While You're Selling

✓ Have a simple, safe process for showings — verify who's coming before they arrive.
✓ Track every showing and the feedback you get — patterns tell you if price or presentation needs adjusting.
✓ Don't sign anything from a buyer without a second look — ours is free.
✓ Keep records of every disclosure you provide and when.

Before You Close

✓ Confirm your title company is handling escrow, title search, and closing paperwork.
✓ Understand contingencies in your contract and their deadlines.
✓ Ask what's customary locally for who pays which closing costs.
✓ If anything feels unclear at any point, ask — us or a real estate attorney, doesn't have to be a formal engagement.
