For Sale by Owner or Agent?

[Alan J Mowder]

Hello BP,

I purchased a home in Temecula, CA a little over a year ago with the initial plan to live in the property for 4-5 years and ultimately sell. I purchased with a VA loan so my down payment was very minimal. Unfortunately, I was involved in an auto accident late last year which is forcing me to be medically seperated from the military and I will likely relocate to Texas near family. I spoke with my realtor and in order for me to break even, I would have to sell the home at the top end of its market value (thats with a discounted commision). So, naturally, im considering doing a FSBO. Have any of you done a FSBO and can you list the Pro's and Con's and any other advice you may have? Thanks!
