I'm considering FSBO in Laguna Niguel California
Hi, I've bought and sold several homes - but mostly with a realtor. I did buy one home many years ago from a gentleman that was very familiar with the process and it went quite well. I'm retired now and I have time so I'm considering selling my condo in Laguna Niguel by myself to save a huge amount on commission. Two condos (same model) are currently in escrow for around $600,000. I'm considering $590,000 - it has been a rental for 10 years and is a little rough but I am putting in new laminate floors/carpeting, 4" baseboards, interior paint, one new shower/bath, re-grouting other shower/bath and getting caught up on all deferred maintenance.
Is there good information on how to complete a FSBO transaction in CA? I will need to find a good escrow company and all forms required. Does it make sense to use a Real Estate attorney or would that just wipe out much of the money I am trying to save?
I've also heard there are new web based companies that will help sell the home for a much smaller fee. Any suggestions? PS - I would expect that there are lot of realtors that will tell me how stupid it is to sell this myself. Thanks - Brad
