Selling a House by Owner - Is Selling a House by Owner Smart in Today s Real Estate Market?

There is no question that selling a house by owner can save you thousands of dollars. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that many people are trying their luck at selling their own home without a real estate agent. It makes perfect sense... Homes prices have dropped so much in last few years that homes sellers simply cannot reduce their price anymore than they already have and still be able to pay their real estate agent the typical 6% commission. The simple solution would appear to be to get rid of the middle man... the real estate agent. In doing so you save yourself thousands of dollars that you would have to pay in real estate commissions and can therefore reduce the price of your home so that it actually sells.
