Doing a For Sale By Owner: Tips to Help You Sell Fast

Sellers who decide to sell as a For Sale By Owner -- a FSBO, without representation -- often start out with the best intentions; however, most of them end up listing with a real estate agent. Why is it so difficult for unrepresented sellers to sell their homes? Especially if inventory is tight, buyers should be flocking to to FSBO homes.

The three biggest reasons for sale by owners fail are:

• Pricing (too high or too low)
• Condition of home (not staged)
• Little (or bad) marketing
