I?m trying to avoid the high commission by thinking I could do this myself. Is it difficult? Like I mentioned in my introduction, I have some forms needed provided by the title agency, and I have an attorney that handled the sale of my dad?s house. But this is all greek to me.
Shouldn?t it just be easy to put a sign in your yard, spend a few bucks on one of those ?for sale by owner? internet ads, have a few open houses, accept an offer, and have the attorney & title company handle it from there?
Or am I missing something here?like some kind of hidden jargon that?s going to jump out at me and cost me big bucks at closing. Is doing it this way mean I have to have a large amount of cash up front for costs of some kind or can those be deducted from what monies I would be receiving?
Is it OK to limit perspective buyers to those who have already been approved for a loan?so as to cut down on the ?looky loos?. Is it a good idea? Better yet?is it legal?
If I get an offer I can live with, should I have the attorney fill out the paperwork or do I do that?
Is the fact that I?m stressing out about this an indication that I should just go with a realtor, pay the commission?.and not have the headaches? I just want some honest advice as to which method has the most pro?s and least amount of con?s.
