When we sold my grandparents house, we listed. That night the girl who delivered the paper when she was growing up stopped. She bought it. Was a real kick since my mom and aunt showed the house. We always said we should have put a sign in the yard first. So when it was time to sell my aunts house, I reminded everyone of this. My cousins didnt want to deal with it. I told them we could try it for a few weeks and I would handle it. They signed with a friends mom. So the day of the open house, the new carpet is being laid. I go to pay the guy. There is an agent already there to show the house. 2 hours early. I told him he should wait a few hours so the men could finish. He said his buyers would be ok walking around them. It was the brother of the people 2 doors down. Yep could have sold it myself.
I bought and sold my duplex FSBO. Word of mouth and no sign. But the house I live in we used my ex's old sister inlaw. But the wife found it listed.
Moral to my stories. Try to sell yourself for a few weeks. A sign in the yard and maybe an ad. Never know what neighbor knows somebody looking.
