I am getting the hell out of Shelby County, as fast as I can make it.

So, I need to sell my house.  I have never really had a good experience with realtors, they never want to listen to me and argue with everything I want to do.

How big of a hassle would it be to do the FSBO thing?  I know I would save a bundle.

How hot is your market?

How does your house compare to others in the neighborhood? Better, worse, larger, smaller, etc.

Selling yourself is not difficult but you will be way ahead if you can get it on the MLS.

ETA: How much time do you have to devote to it? How available will you be to show the house? Are you willing to put up with the hassles?

If it's a hot market and you have a desirable house, it should move quickly. A soft market and hard to sell house will take time and effort.

Be prepared for realtors calling you to list it if you do FSBO. Be prepared to deal with buyers who may have loan issues.

My wife is a Realtor, so I have a bit of an interest  I can give you her contact info if you want

But anyway, just kinda watching her, and half paying attention, Lakeland is a reasonably hot market, depending on where your house falls pricewise.  It will probably be somewhat in value, especially since the schools spun off for the suburbs.   A lot of folks are looking to get their kids out of the rebranded Memphis city schools.  And to touch on the point right above, you have to very carefully watch the prospective buyers credit, that seems to be the biggest issue in the purchase around here and many fall apart.

sell it yourself. save the 6% or whatever it is. we've sold three houses our selves and saved a ton of money. now you get to do all the work in promoting it and deal with some of the idiots who you know darn well they cannot afford your house. just be upfront and ask them to produce a pre qualified loan document.

Be sure to run everything by a real estate lawyer.    That should only cost you around two hundred....last time I checked.
