FSBO Experience in Seattle

Here's another "from the trenches" account of a homeowner who sold the home without the services of an agent -- right here in the Seattle area, no less. It's a two part post: Part 1 and Part 2. In particular, the author provides several useful tips regarding the marketing of the home. Of note, the author makes no reference to using the services of an attorney. Thankfully, it appears that the deal went smoothly, although time will tell whether the seller will have to deal with legal issues down the road (a claim arising out of a poorly worded deed, perhaps?) as a result of not obtaining legal counsel. This author's willingness to forego an attorney stands in contrast to other FSBO accounts and the advice of "experts," as related in my previous two posts (here and here).
