That sounds like a good idea.  But I would think that you should look beyond realtors.  Drive around and look for people selling the houses by themselves.  If you’re offering 20% below, then if you cut the realtors 5-8%, then you’d be closer to an amount that would be good for the both of you.

Thanks.  Did some research, and found a site.  www.forsalebyowner.com.  It’s just what you said, but I don’t have to go driving around.  I’m confident that I’ll get something here.  Thanks for your 2 cents.

No problem.  I don’t think that I did anything.  I never even knew that there were sites like this.  I’ll check it out myself.

I'll sell you mine near Chardon, OH. It may not be 20% below rate, but it is below based on comps.
Excellent Chardon, OH Home - $246,900. Here is another great FSBO site, as well.

hi Giolitto,

forsalebyowner.com is a really popular site. Although I go around gaining insight on residential property from various people even outside of the US I'd always considered seeking the help of the best professionals fundamental to "safe" risk-taking (is there such thing as that? lol) when buying a house.

I've got a tiny list of reputable realtors here that you can turn to:

if anything, I hope this helps!
