We are exploring selling our house. We are in Westchester and would really like to minimize sales commissions. I understand the standard is 2 to 2.5% each for the sellers and for the buyers agent. How can i reduce or even eliminate this?

Could i sell by myself? I guess i can, but my question is whether it is actually possible to do a FSBO here... for instance, how could i get it listed using other means?

Also, for those of you who have pulled it off, how could i time the sell of my house and be ready to buy a new one?

Thank you for any helpful insight.

Bought my house from the owner. She put the word out, friend told a friend and it was done. Depends where you are.

I see FSBO listings on Zillow all the time. That's where most buyers are browsing anyway. And don't underestimate the power of a nice sign in the front yard.

Try Redfin, they charge only 1.5% as seller's agent.
