Furthermore, the time involved in selling a house is transferred to the FSBO seller, and if that person is working, that can translate to more money lost in time taken off work. A meaningful amount of time and money are involved in selling a home, even when you sell it FSBO. Other costs involved in selling a house without a real estate agent include: Determining the Sales Price of the Property The seller can do this by comparing recent sales prices of similar properties in the area and adjusting their price to match those, hoping to hit the market sweet spot, or they can employ the services of a professional appraiser (which usually cost $350 and up). Writing a Sales Contract You can get a real estate attorney to write one up for you, or you can purchase a boilerplate contract or find one free online (overall, this process usually costs $200 and up).
