Selling a House Without a Realtor in Florida

Why Florida Homeowners Want to Skip the Realtor

• The 5-6% commission ($15,000-$30,000 on most Florida homes) feels like too much
• You’ve had a bad experience with an agent before
• You want a faster, more private sale
• You’re tired of showings, open houses, and inspections
• You’ve heard about FSBO (For Sale By Owner) but not sure if it works

The Two Paths Without a Realtor

Path 1: For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

You list and market the home yourself. You take your own photos, handle inquiries, conduct showings, negotiate with buyers, navigate inspections, and coordinate closing. About 7-10% of US home sales are FSBO.

FSBO can save commission, but it has real downsides:

• FSBO homes sell for 6-13% less than agent-listed homes on average (NAR data)
• You still pay the buyer’s agent 2.5-3% in most cases
• Average time on market: 2x longer than agent-listed
• You handle all legal disclosures and risk
• You become the public face of the listing (strangers calling, visiting, etc.)

Net result: most FSBO sellers save less than they think.

Path 2: Sell to a Cash Buyer Like Homeinc

Skip the listing entirely. Sell directly to Homeinc. No realtor on either side. No showings. No marketing.

• No commission (5-6% saved)
• No closing costs (we cover them)
• No repairs required
• No showings
• Close in 7-30 days
• Cash in hand

You make slightly less than top market price, but you save 13-20% in costs you would have paid in a traditional sale. The math often comes out comparable, with massive time and stress savings.

FSBO vs Homeinc — The Honest Comparison

When FSBO Makes Sense

• Your home is in excellent condition
• You have a buyer already lined up (family, friend, neighbor)
• You’re comfortable with paperwork, photography, negotiation
• You can wait 3-6 months for the right buyer
• You can afford the legal and listing costs upfront

When Selling to Homeinc Makes Sense

• Your home needs work
• You don’t have time to wait 3-6 months
• You don’t want to deal with showings, marketing, repair negotiations
• You face foreclosure, divorce, inheritance, or other time pressure
• You want a guaranteed close with no buyer financing risk

FAQ

Can I really sell without paying any commission?

Yes, when you sell to Homeinc. No agent commission, no buyer agent commission, no closing costs.

What if I want to try FSBO first?

That’s a reasonable approach. Try FSBO for 60-90 days. If it doesn’t sell, call us.

What about flat-fee MLS listings?

Flat-fee listings put your home on MLS for a few hundred dollars instead of full agent commission. Better than full FSBO, but you still pay the buyer’s agent and handle most of the work yourself.

Do I need a real estate attorney?

Not required in Florida cash sales. Homeinc title team handles everything. You can hire your own attorney if you prefer.
