New York · For Sale By Owner

Thinking about selling your home in New York?
Start with a plan.

Everything a 40-year licensed broker knows about navigating a FSBO sale — in one complete, state-specific packet.

As of 2024, New York’s Property Condition Disclosure Statement is mandatory — the older option to give buyers a $500 credit instead of disclosing was eliminated, so most sellers now complete the form. Most New York residential transactions involve attorneys representing the buyer and seller, and this packet explains how that process fits into a FSBO sale. It shows you which official documents apply to your sale and where to find them — it points you to the documents, it doesn’t replace them.

Why sellers go FSBO — and why most don't follow through

The information gap is the only thing stopping you.

Homeowners in every state have the legal right to sell their homes without hiring a listing agent. What you need is the same knowledge a 40-year broker walks into every transaction with. That's what this packet gives you.

01
What forms are required — and exactly how to complete them correctly
02
How to price using real comps — the same method agents use, with a worksheet
03
How to read a purchase agreement — every line, what it means, what to watch for
04
How to negotiate and close — without leaving money on the table

40+ Years Real Estate Experience · Licensed Real Estate Broker
"The sellers I've watched struggle with FSBO weren't unprepared people — they were prepared people who did things in the wrong order. This packet exists so that doesn't happen to you."

This packet was built by a licensed real estate broker with over 40 years of real estate experience — not a marketing company, not a tech platform, not an algorithm. Every section reflects real transactions, real negotiations, and real state-specific law. The pricing workbook, the offer scorecard, the inspection response strategy — these come from decades of sitting across the table from buyers and sellers and knowing exactly where deals go wrong.

List It Yourself exists because every seller deserves to make an informed decision. If you want to sell yourself — you should have everything a broker knows. If you decide you want an agent after all — we'll connect you with a great one and refund your $147. Either way, you win.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

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?
We'll refund your purchase price and help connect you with an experienced local real estate professional — no questions asked. 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.
Who is Michelle Wollet?
Michelle is a licensed real estate broker with 40+ years of experience. List It Yourself is an educational resource for homeowners who want to take control of their sale. This is not a generic information product — every packet is state-specific, built by and backed by a working broker with four decades of real transactions.
How do I receive the packet after purchase?
Immediately after purchase you'll receive access to your state-specific packet. It's a PDF you can save, print, and reference throughout your sale. No apps, no subscriptions, no logins.
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.
