Houses For Sale By Owner Knowledge Base
When working with a realtor how do for sale by owner houses work? I have been working with a realtor and seeing houses. With him I found a neighborhood that I really like. We decided to just wait until something in that neighborhood goes on the market. I have now found two in that neighborhood, but they both for sale by owner. How do I handle this? Should I do it on my own or stick with the realtor? I'm a first time homebuyer and would like to have someone like a realtor to walk me through the process. I'm not under a contract with the realtor, but feel guilty just doing something on my own. I don't want to miss out on the home just because of a realtor. Any ideas?

My listing agent mentioned having stipulations on earnest money, what happens if a timeline is not met for inspection or whatever, etc. I am wondering if there is anything else that I need to worry about...thank you!

Advice to selling a For Sale By Owner house....help!? All of the agents in our area seem to only want to sit on their butt and list people's houses.

With no traffic going through our house, it's hard to sell it. Do you have any advice for me? Good advice when doing open houses? Good advice for getting the word out? Are open houses worth it? We are giving a Buyer's Agent Commision of 3% and we are listed on FSBO.com along with the MLS. We've been on the market for around 5 months and only had about 5 people come in the hosue...not good. Summer's coming, we want some traffic! Any advice on anything? PLEASE! much, much appreciated. Thanks!

Our house is For Sale by Owner. What amount should be given to a realtor that brings us a buying customer? We are selling our house, have advertised in local and regional papers, put it on Yahoo real estate, etc. Over a year ago, we had a real estate agent friend list it for us, but there were no bites. So eight months after her contract expired, we listed it as "for sale by owner". We rec'd a call that she wants to bring a potential buyer to see the house. If our house should sell to this customer, what would be the appropriate amount to pay to the real estate friend - - keeping in mind that we will not be making a killing on the sale of the house in today's market situations.
We are buyers with a real estate agent helping us, but found a house for sale by owner, how do we move forward? Our real estate agent is fantastic. She has shown us three or four houses over the last three or four months and is patiently working with us at our speed. We think it would be good to be connected with her during the closing, as this is a first time purchase for us and she knows our area really well and is well connected to others in the real estate community, like good home inspectors for the older homes in our community. We do not have any signed contract with her, just some emails back and forth talking about what we are looking for. Soooo, we are looking at a house for sale by owner and if we decide to move forward we are not sure what the protocol would be regarding the agent. Do we just tell the agent that we no longer need help? Or do we pay the agent to represent us at closing? We don't have much money beyond our down payment so this could present a complication for us financially. Do we get a real estate attorney to help us finish? If so, should we get a gift card for our agent and express our appreciation for taking us to see a few houses? Thanks! Thanks for the answers so far, we do not have a written contract, or even a strong verbal agreement with the agent, just an understanding that she knows what we are looking for and sends us daily emails if there is something new on the market. She has only shown us a few houses. We are fairly certain that the seller will not engage a realtor, and we know that others are looking at this property, we'd really like to have it and are trying to be careful to not lose it. Our agent is awesome, based on your feedback I called her and asked how we could move forward if we found a house for sale by owner and she said that she would support us however we like as long as we could make it make sense with the seller. It will work out just fine. Thanks!!
Does realtors get a cut on for sale by owner? my husband and I are looking at a house that is For sale by owner. My realtor is really nice but has either been showing us houses out of our "comfortable range" or houses that don't meet our needs. This for sale by owner house we LOVED and really want it.. but if I go through with this one does the realtor not get his cut for comission? I just want to let him down easy (used to be coworkers once upon a time) and if I tell him its a FSBO he won't be to upset! I didn't sign any contract saying that I needed to go through the realtor, he simply was just showing me houses. I never signed my name on anything.
How do you go about purchasing a house that is 'for sale by owner'? I want to purchase a home in Texas that is being sold by the owner rather than a realtor.

Do I just contact a bank and see if they can finance it for me, or what? Thank you!!
Can I list my house "for sale by owner" and then contact one of the people who viewed my house with an agent?

If she gets that cleaned up can I contact her to buy without notifying the agents? I don't think this is illegal, but it just seems ethically questionable. Some people tell me yes and some say no, but does anyone really know?

Foreclosed homes & For Sale by Owner homes - Real Estate Agents Welcome? My husband and I have had our eye on a house that is a foreclosed home. This house is being represented by several local real estate companies. My husband and I went to the bank to inquire about the procedures that need to be done to get a loan. I am a student (college) and he works. He has been with his job for a little over a year and has all the check stubs to prove it. The bank said that until I get a job, it would be impossible for them to loan anything to me but they did consider him. They ran his credit and found an outstanding hospital bill he was unaware that still existed (we plan to make payments). Therefore, they told us that they could not help us unless we had someone that could get the loan and purchase the house in their name. Meanwhile, the person who purchases the house (with the bank loan) could be selling it to us and after a year of responsible verifiable payments (receipts) that we could have the house signed over to us through the bank. Since this house is foreclosed, is there any other way to get this house, such as making payments to the bank that owns this house? As of right now, we have no idea which bank owns this house however, it is not the bank that we use. If we can not do anything to get this home, we are also interested in looking for a house that is “for sale by owner”. What kind of documentation would we need for someone to consider selling their home to us? Are there any certain laws about particular documentation that a seller would have to abide by? We live in Alabama and are first time home buyers.
