Question 11: How can I save money when selling a home?

To save money, negotiate your real estate consultant’s fees or consider selling the home on your own. Realtor commissions are standard, with portions going to both seller and buyer consultants. Negotiate these commissions, but remember, lower fees might impact marketing efforts.

In today’s market, quick offers often indicate a well-marketed property. DIY selling can eliminate seller commissions but requires industry knowledge due to legal complexities. Violations like Fair Housing Act breaches can result in fines.

Consider hiring a real estate lawyer for paperwork handling, costing around $1,000-$1,500. However, real estate consultants provide marketing expertise and access to the MLS for broad listing exposure.
