How to Sell a House Fast Without a Realtor

Quick Answer

Sell directly to a cash buyer. No realtor, no 6% commission, no showings. Close in 7-14 days instead of months.

Your No-Realtor Options

1

Sell to a Cash Buyer (7-14 days)

Best for speed and simplicity. Cash buyers purchase directly from you:

  • ✓ No commission (you save potentially $18,000+ on a $300k home)
  • ✓ No repairs or staging required
  • ✓ No showings or open houses
  • ✓ Close in days, not months
2

FSBO Listing (2-6 months)

List yourself on Zillow, Facebook Marketplace, or a flat-fee MLS service. You handle photos, showings, negotiations, and paperwork. Still saves listing commission but takes significant time and effort.

Commission Savings Comparison

Sale Method Commission Paid On $300k Home
Traditional (with agent) 5-6% -$15,000 to $18,000
FSBO + buyer's agent 2.5-3% -$7,500 to $9,000
Cash Buyer 0% $0
