You may like the idea of selling your own house without hiring a real estate agent. This is understandable, as it will save you roughly 6% in real estate commissions...which can easily be more than ten thousand dollars. For example, if you sell a home for $250,000 you would traditionally pay your real estate agent $15,000...the buying agent gets 3% ($7500) and the selling agent (your agent) gets the other 3%. The buyer never pays any commission. That burden falls completely on the home seller.
