[QUOTE="BLK03SVT10TH, post: 7763005, member: 13915"] In 2000 I Sold my own house in San Diego back when the market was at it's peak. I bought a book called "For Sale By Owner in California for Dummies" at Borders Book Store. It had all the Legal Forms in it for the Offer to Purchase and stuff. Really pissed of all the realtors in the neighborhood. They kept stealing my signs and throwing them in the bushes. ****'em, I kept buying more and putting them back up right next to their signs. Took me 1 month to sell it and I got $100,000.00 more for my house than ANY other house in the neighborhood. The Banks couldn't even give an appraisal because there were no comps in the neighborhood even close, but the buyer knew the house was worth every penny. Took all the paperwork to Chicago Title and they basically handled everything else from there. At the going rate of 6% Commission I saved almost $40,000.00. I'm sorry to say, there isn't anything a Realtor does that is worth $40,000.00 for the sale of a Single Family Home, not after I did all the work to get it ready. Purchased in 2000 for $279,000.00 Sold in 2005 for $647,000.00 :) [/QUOTE]
