[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are contemplating FSBO and wondering if people even look on craigslist anymore with all the junk that seems to be on there.  Even in the real estate "by owner" there is a lot of spam.
Do you prefer Trulia, Zillow, Redfin or other?
Trying to figure out the best places to list and where to spend our advertising money.... i.e Prince of Petworth, Post..etc.

You need to get on the MLS. There are places that will do this for $500 or so. I don't know which ones, but I used them about six years ago to sell a house, and all worked well.

Redfin will list your house at a discount, but the last time I looked it wasn't a great discount. If you are in a hot market, put a sign out front and an ad in the local paper with a link to photos of your house. You'll find a buyer in no time as long as you price it right. If you are trying to keep the entire realtor's fee to yourself, you may have a hard time selling FSBO. It has to be priced lower than similar listings, so that way you split the fee with your buyer. Both of you win.

Good luck, OP. I think real estate brokers will disappear one day. Everyone shops on the internet now, so I fail to understand the reason realtors are paid such such huge fees to do relatively little work. [/quote]
