So my wife and I are about to list our home for sale. We plan to list it on zillow as for sale by owner and get some signs. We will hire a real estate attorney to do the paperwork once we find a buyer.
Zillow estimates our home is worth $199,000, my own research looking at comps I think I can confidently get $215,000 due to the upgrades we have and the condition of the home. My wife purchased the home back in 2007 in the housing boom and paid $220,000 for the home, then paid $8,000 for new windows, $2,000 to get rid of trees that were causing damage to the home,$2,000 diy kitchen upgrade, Premium pergo flooring diy $2,000, whole home paint job exterior/interior $5,000, new hvac system (2014) $4,000.
The cheapest option is the above mentioned, list it on zillow and put some signs up. Second option is purchase the premium package on fsbo.com for $500. And then there is the most expensive option of hiring a realtor and paying 6%. We have also considered offering 3% to realtors who bring us a buyer.
Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. This is our first home we have ever sold so we are a little nervous.
