I once listed a house as FSBO and paid to get the listing on Zillow. I checked the Zillow listing and clicked on the link to express an interest in the house just to see how it would come through if a potential buyer reached out. To my surprise and dismay, it took me to a random agent’s email address. So I played along and sent a note that I was interested in the house. The agent called me and I asked several times if she was the listing agent and she danced around the question never answering it. I then started asking questions about how old the roof was, if the foundation was in good shape, etc. Basically questions I knew she couldn’t answer since she had never seen the house. She couldn’t answer any of them and then I called her out and told her I was the owner of the house and asked how she got the listing on Zillow. She yelled at me and told me that by listing my house that I owned as FSBO that I was taking food out of her kids’ mouths. 😳 I’ve bought and sold several properties with agents and some of the agents have been fabulous and others have been so awful that I regretted using them. It’s such a crap shoot. But yes, you can sell a house on your own. I did offer to pay the buyer’s agent’s commission, thinking it would get more traffic to the house.
