I've done it and walked away with more cash in my pocket than my neighbors who sold with agents bc I didn't have to pay the 6% realtor commission.

As the other poster said, I'd go with a FSBO website since you get a lot of bang for your buck. They will also set you up with the standard purchase agreements for yor area. No need to get an attorney unless something goes wrong usually.

Unclutter everything (especially closets) and remove all personal pictures from the house before you show it. Also make sure it's spotless

The only 2 homes I've owned, I've sold FSBO. I just took what the realtors were asking in the neighborhood and asked about 5% less. I got a standard purchase agreement off the fsbobr website and sold it. Not very difficult at all
