Can You Sell a House Without a Realtor?

Last updated: February 2026

Well-maintained Florida home ready for private sale

Quick Answer

Yes, you can sell without a realtor and save the 6% commission. On a $300,000 house, that's $18,000 you keep. Sell directly to a cash buyer like us—we handle the paperwork and close through a licensed title company.

Your Options for Selling Without a Realtor

Option 1: For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

You handle everything yourself—listing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork.

✓ Save on listing agent commission (3%)

✗ Still may pay buyer's agent 3%

✗ Time-consuming and complicated

Option 2: Sell to a Cash Buyer (Us)

Sell directly to us for cash. We handle everything and close in 7-30 days.

✓ No commissions at all (save 6%)

✓ No showings, staging, or repairs

✓ We pay closing costs

✓ Close in as little as 7 days

Commission Savings: The Math

Sale Price 6% Commission You Save
$200,000 $12,000 $12,000
$300,000 $18,000 $18,000
$500,000 $30,000 $30,000

Is the Paperwork Complicated?

Not when you sell to us. We use a licensed Florida title company to handle all closing documents. You'll sign the purchase agreement and closing documents—that's it. The title company handles the deed, title search, and funds transfer.
