Just keep in mind that many, many buyers depend on their agent to put together a list of homes to see on a weekend. The agent goes through MLS to see what's available. You're not on that list, and you've eliminated a significant % of the buyers for your home.

In my experience, the houses that sell fast and get top $$ are the ones that are well-priced and well marketed from DAY ONE. They create a buzz when they hit the market, you get tons of showings EARLY and people have a sense of urgency... they feel they have to get it before someone else does.

It can be really hard to generate that "buzz" on a FSBO, but it can be done. There are tricks to generating interest in a home, you just have to do it RIGHT from day one... and day one is well before you stick a sign out front.

If I were in your shoes, I'd call the agent you intend to use when you BUY a house, and see what they're willing to do for you.
