Are you toying with the idea of saving money by trying to sell your property yourself? Before you do, make sure you understand what you’re letting yourself in for. Before you do, make sure you know what your responsibilities are, what legal steps you have to undertake, and exactly what you are taking on.
Although legally there are no laws that make you sell your house using a realtor, in some states, the law mandates that you use a realtor to close the paperwork check.
A realtor has been trained to ensure that you comply with the law. You will need to invest the time to determine what your legal obligations are. Can you afford that time? And in some states, there are mandatory disclosure laws. You will have to find out if these laws apply in your state. The biggest factor in selling a property is asking the right price. Get it wrong, and your house either won’t sell quickly or you leave money on the table.
