It is human nature to shy away from things that are risky, dangerous, and sometimes outright confusing.  Selling a property or home most likely falls in this category.  However, while many people will go running to the nearest realtor for help, there is an increasing number of homes for sale that are being sold by their respective owner. While this may seem like a bad decision and unfriendly proposition, many homeowners are looking to maximize the return on their real estate’s sale and look to remove realtors from the equation.  This brings about the most obvious advantage of selling a house without a realtor: no commission.  All money paid for the house will be pure profit.

Another advantage to selling a house is being able to set your own conditions.  Many people are troubled by some of the requirements realtors place on a house for sale.  Certain things must be fixed, certain things must be installed, and certain things must be removed.  In many cases, sellers are obligated by their representing realty company to commit to certain terms.  For homeowners who are looking to sell their house as-is, or without the hurdles of many realtors, selling their own house may be the way to go.
