If would really piss you off to sign up with a realtor and on day 1 get a full price offer (I've seen it happen).

Assuming you're a serious seller who knows the local real estate market, why would finding a qualified buyer so quickly upset you?

I’m guess if the home was that quick and easy to sell, it could have been sold w/o a realtor.

But using a realtor in this situation is advantageous bc they’ll accept other offers amd can help negotiate a bidding war.

Assuming you're a serious seller who knows the local real estate market, why would finding a qualified buyer so quickly upset you? I personally know of a case where the sellers listed a $300K house with a realtor and as the agent was putting up the sign a couple driving thru the neighborhood saw it, stopped, looked at the house and offered full price. That's $18,000 (6% commission) the seller had to pay whereas if they did FSOB for a few weeks they'd saved that money.
