Is selling my home myself legal?
Yes, 100%. Homeowners in every state have the legal right to sell their homes without hiring a listing agent. There are no laws requiring you to have agent representation. You are required to complete certain disclosure forms — all of which are covered in detail in your state-specific packet.
Do I still need to pay a buyer's agent commission?
You are not legally required to offer a buyer's agent commission — but many FSBO sellers choose to offer 2–2.5% to attract buyers working with agents. Your packet walks you through the decision and how to structure your offer either way.
Is this legal advice?
No. This packet is educational in nature and is designed to help homeowners understand the FSBO process. Real estate laws vary by state, and homeowners should consult a licensed attorney, title company, tax professional, or other qualified advisor regarding their specific circumstances.
What if I decide I want an agent after all?
If it's within 90 days of your purchase date and you haven't yet listed with another brokerage, we'll refund your purchase price and help connect you with an experienced local real estate professional. Contact us before entering into a listing agreement and we'll take care of you. We'd rather you have the right support than struggle alone.
Why would a licensed broker teach FSBO?
Because homeowners deserve options. Some people successfully sell on their own. Others decide professional representation is the better fit. Our goal is to help homeowners make informed decisions — and provide the right support either way.

Is the packet really state-specific?
Yes — each packet is written for your state's disclosure laws, transfer taxes, closing process, and market conditions. A Colorado seller and a Georgia seller face very different legal requirements. Your packet covers exactly what applies to you.
