How smart is it to do a FSBO?

One of the difficult topics Clark deals with is how to sell a home. Is it smarter to do FSBO (For Sale Buy Owner) or to hire a real estate agent to do the work for you? Many people start with a FSBO and then give up after awhile because it is a huge hassle. Christa, Clark’s executive producer, recently sold her home as a FSBO, but she was ready to give up after two weeks into the process. Dealing with questionable or rude people every week and constantly having to keep the house clean nearly caused her to give up. But she kept with it for another month and finally it paid off. She sold her home after six weeks and ended up saving more than $20,000 doing it herself. But, if she had the sell the house again, she will use an agent. Clark recommends that you stay with a FSBO for three months if you’re going to try it. You will figure out what works best for you.

This week's poll
Many recent college grads don't know how to dress professionally for work. Have you ever thought someone in your workplace was dressed inappropriately?
Yes. I've seen co-workers in outfits that show way too much skin.
No. I work in a very relaxed environment and anything goes.
Maybe. Some clothing I've seen on the job is questionable.
