Updated: How to Sell FSBO Guide – Feedback Welcome
I've spent the past year refining the How to Sell FSBO guide I created based on my own experiences selling my own homes. I've reorganized it into more of a handbook and added sections on things like communication setup, scripts, attorneys, disclosures, and common mistakes.
I've continued updating this guide based on my own FSBO experiences and the questions and suggestions I've received from this community. It's a living document, and I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who's willing to read it. It doesn't matter whether you've sold ten homes FSBO, sold your first one, are currently selling, or considering it.
If you notice something that's missing, something that wasn't clear, or you have a question you think other first-time sellers might also ask, please let me know. If it's helpful and accurate, I'll incorporate it into future updates.
My goal isn't to make this the longest FSBO guide. It's to make sure someone selling for the first time can confidently work through the process without wondering what comes next.
For those who may be curious: This guide began after someone challenged me a year ago stating if selling a home was so easy then why hadn't I created a guide. The commenter's plan was to charge others for his work. I already had my own process stored in my head from selling my homes, so I sat down and wrote it in a few hours. I wanted to make sure anyone interested in selling FSBO had free access to the information instead of feeling like they had to pay for it. Over time, the original guide grew as I identified gaps, gained more knowledge, and incorporated helpful suggestions from others, always giving credit where it's due. What started as a response to one conversation became the living document you're reading today.
