FSBO: Just Because You Can, Should You?

I have a question that every unrepresented seller (popularly known as a FSBO) should ask before they decide to sell without the aid of a professional real estate agent: It's not that you can't sell your home on your own, but should you?

Should you try your own case in court, or hire a lawyer?

Should you diagnose and treat your own illness, or visit your physician?

Should you try to interpret the Federal income tax laws, or rely on your CPA?

Most people would rely on a professional in all these matters.

If you're like most people, your home is your largest single investment and your most important asset. With so much at stake, doesn't it make good sense to consult with an expert in the sale of this asset? Sure, you can sell it on your own. But should you?

It's just a question. But before you jump into the FSBO waters alone, you might want to give the answer some serious thought.
