<<Does anyone have an ideas on selling your on home they would like to share?>>

I have a couple. The first is to get familiar with your competition so you can price your home competitively. I would also have someone who knew what they were doing review the contract once you have one in hand. I would also get rid of all clutter, if you have any.

<<I'm contemplating on getting a RE license in case this sale by owner thing does not work out....6% is a lot of cash. >>

One thing I will point out here is that many companies will waive the company half of the listing fee if you are an agent working for them and selling your own property, but the selling agent half of the commission will still have to be paid if you sell it through an agent. So in effect you could save 3% as opposed to 6%.

Another alternative that few consider is to market your own home until you have a willing buyer, then pay a RE agent to walk both parties thru the paperwork to provide full disclosure and to eliminate contingencies.

I've paid $1-2,000 for such a service in the past. The agent does not have to incur any expense.. just act as a consultant.
