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 |
