Your old saying is only believed by a fool. Read my other post. We had zero problems selling two ourselves.

Well good for you.

I once bought a one-bedroom condo. Just as I was moving in, I ran into another resident of the same building who was just moving out. He had just sold his two-bedroom condo down the hall....for about 25% less than what I had bought my one-bedroom for. He had skipped the realtor and done a FSBO.

Naturally, I regretted not knowing about or buying his place instead. I have no idea where he advertised it and hadn't been aware it was for sale. But the price I paid was actually comparable to what other places were going in that neighborhood and what they went for in the building over the coming years. And I sold my place years later for a nice profit.

This guy, on the other hand, got ripped off. He saved his 3% on the agent but lost maybe 50% of the price he could have gotten because he went it alone. I felt very bad for him.
