How does OfferMarket Compare To For Sale by Owner (FSBO)?
Selling your home For Sale By Owner (FSBO) can be very appealing. Not paying a listing agent's brokerage fees can save you 3% and not paying a buyer agent's fees can save you another 3%. That's thousands of dollars in your pocket!

- How to sell your home without an agent -- where are you going to list it? how will buyers find you?
- How to value your home -- what is the correct listing price?
- How to review offers and contracts (Purchase And Sale Agreement) -- how do you qualify buyers?

- How to coordinate closing with a title company or attorney
