Is selling a house FSBO in Texas cheaper than using a realtor?

When you sell your house without a realtor, you don't pay a listing agent's commission, which saves you 2–3%. That said, you'll need to pay for a lot of services realtors typically out of pocket — not to mention put in a lot more time and effort. That's why we recommend considering an agent matching service or discount broker instead .

How can I save more money when selling my Texas home?

To save the most money when selling without a realtor in Texas, skip expensive repairs and improvements and sell your home as-is. You can also skip out on an appraisal and extensive advertising — though we heartily recommend a flat fee MLS listing to help get your home out there.
