Talked to my sister who is a realtor, I will try myself first and then get a realtor if needed.

You have a sister that is a realtor and your first move is to come here and ask the question?
What are you, trying to pump up your post count?

"Gather all the facts before making a decision."
You need different perspectives from different sources the bigger the decision is.

I just sold my house a week ago for sale by owner. Why in the holy hell would you give some numbnuts 6% just to show your house and do paperwork that you are fully capable of doing? I guess it depends on the market and which city you are in.

Are you in Donaldsonville or Los Angeles?

try it and set a target date. If it doesn't sale by the date hire a realtor. Don't ask for a realtor's advise now because they will say "people who sale by owner don't know what they are doing". Yes they do, they are saving 6%, its simple.

Depends on your market. I sold by owner in 4days with a cash offer. No need for an agent. I did use a buyers agent for my new house though.

Can anyone put their home on the MLS? Seems like that would only serve to get a lot of calls from realtors which defeats the purpose of FSBO.

I've bought and sold by owner. I'm not forking over 20,000-25,000 for something I can do myself.
Yes, I believe anyone can get on the MLS if you pay the fee, which, ten years ago I believe was around $1,000.

We sold ours on FSBOBR and included a clause that realtors were welcome at 2%.

I'm just curious
How does everyone know exactly how much money they saved by doing FSBO?
How do you know that a realtor would not have got you a higher selling price? Not to mention that there is some expense and time value in FSBO that usually doesn't get accounted for when professing savings.
I'm not a realtor, just someone who sees that they do have a value.

Exactly.
I don't want to leave money on the table.
Also not having the hassle of doing it and knowing it's done right.
From you?
Highest compliment.
Stick to your political melts and leave the growing and learning for us adults.

I have done all my flip properties FSBO. Offered the 3% for buyer agents. If someone comes with an offer without an agent you can always hire an attorney to write up contract for a small fee.
If you know your market and research the hell out of comps you aren't going to leave money on the table.
Do you use a travel agent to book your vacation?

Trick question. Every MB FSBO poster paid under market value by not using a realtor as buyer and got full market value later as the seller.
