New Jersey Home Sellers on Businessweek News

Check out this Businessweek news segment that discusses the pros and cons of selling your house yourself (fsbo).

The piece is interesting because it shows how two different New Jersey homeowners went about selling their homes in this market. The first person sold without an agent and claims to have saved $40,000. The other person used a broker who she claims was able to generate a bidding war between buyers - What is it 2002 again?

One main point that people who chose to sell their home by themselves need to be aware of is how their personal timeline will be impacted by not having an agent working on their behalf. When you need to sell your home you can't waste time on marketing your property yourself in order to save a few thousand dollars.
