The tasks that people assume to be difficult when selling a home is handling the paperwork. A real estate attorney will only cost a few hundred dollars and will allow you to focus on working with prospective buyers.

	Make sure potential buyers are pre-approved to ensure that they will qualify for a mortgage. Visit this page to learn more.
	Download state-specific real estate forms & contracts from ForSaleByOwner.com for all your real estate needs.
	We recommend you hire a real estate attorney who can help you handle all of the paperwork.
	Understand and anticipate that the buyer will want to have an inspection done by his or her own home inspector and/or appraisal company.
	Only accept offers from pre-approved buyers. When you receive an offer, you and your attorney can accept, reject, or make a counteroffer.
	Agree on a sales price and ask your attorney to assist you with the contracts.
	Agree on a closing date that is acceptable to all parties.

Close the Deal

	Contact your mortgage lender to determine the mortgage payoff amount.
	Closing day. You, along with your attorney and/or a representative of your title company, will meet with the buyer and their legal counsel to sign a wide array of closing documents that will give title of the property to the buyer.
	Hand over the keys to the buyer.
	Determine how much you saved in commission. Our average home seller saves $12,400!

Congratulations!
You have sold a home without a real estate agent!
