Hi, this is Darren Brown with Darren Buys Homes Cash. I’m a local Sacramento investor and California licensed real estate broker specializing in challenging properties. Today, I’m sharing how you can sell your home yourself—for sale by owner—without paying realtor fees, potentially saving $25,000 or more depending on your home’s value. There are four key steps to follow: First, determine the proper price using at least three comparable properties sold within 6 months, within a quarter-mile radius, similar in size and condition. While Zillow offers resources, I recommend getting free comps from a realtor friend or hiring an appraiser ($400-600) if needed. Second, prepare your marketing and legal documents—secure a legally sound contract (have an attorney review it), obtain a roof certification, clear pest report, and consider staging vacant properties. You might hire a realtor for MLS entry only and use professional photography—I recommend Tour Factory for virtual tours. Third, hire a transaction coordinator (about $400) to handle paperwork and ensure legal compliance—disclose everything to avoid liability. Finally, thoroughly vet your buyer and their lender by verifying recent pre-qualification and checking the lender’s legitimacy. If dealing with tenant issues, probate complications, or you need a fast, stress-free cash sale, call me at 9163007962 or visit darrenbuyhomescash.com. Thank you.
