Perhaps the most obvious reason to Sell or Buy a home is to avoid commissions for agents. Typically running at 4-6% of the price of the home, you can save tens of thousands of dollars just by selling your home yourself and avoiding costly fees paid to real estate brokers.
Of course, in order to be an FSBO and sell your house quickly for the desired asking price, you are going to have to put in a little effort and money. Still, paying $300 to put your house up on an MLS is a lot less than paying an agent a $20K commission.
