Thinking About Selling FSBO?
Unlock the essential questions to ask before listing your home FSBO (For Sale by Owner) —ensure you’re protected, informed, and ready to sell.
For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) can be a great way to save on commissions—but it can also be overwhelming. From pricing your home correctly to understanding legal disclosures, there are dozens of details that can make or break your success.
That’s why I created the Free FSBO Questions Guide. Inside, you’ll find the essential questions every homeowner should ask before listing their property on their own. These questions are designed to help you:
✅ Avoid common legal and financial pitfalls
✅ Set a competitive price that attracts serious buyers
✅ Market your home effectively (without wasting time or money)
✅ Prepare for negotiations and closing costs with confidence
Even the most seasoned homeowners can overlook important steps. This guide gives you a clear starting point—so you can sell smarter, not harder.
Why This Guide Matters
Picture this: You’ve just listed your home FSBO. The photos are up, the sign is in the yard, and you’re excited to save on commissions. Then the phone rings—your first showing!
The buyer walks through, nodding politely, and then asks:
👉 “Why did you price your home at this number?”
👉 “What repairs have you disclosed?”
👉 “Will you cover closing costs?”
Suddenly, what felt simple gets stressful.
That’s where the FSBO Questions Guide comes in. It gives you the tools to:
✨ Avoid Legal Missteps
When a buyer asks about required disclosures, you’ll know exactly what’s needed—protecting yourself from liability.
✨ Attract More Buyers
Instead of guessing at your price or where to advertise, you’ll be ready with answers that show you’ve done your homework.
✨ Negotiate with Confidence
No more awkward pauses. You’ll have the right words to handle tough questions and keep the deal moving forward.
✨ Understand Your Bottom Line
When buyers want to talk about costs, you’ll already know what fees to expect—and what your true net profit looks like.
✨ Sell Smarter, Not Harder
With these questions in hand, you’ll come across as informed, professional, and ready—making buyers take you seriously.
Because selling your home FSBO isn’t just about putting up a sign—it’s about being prepared for every step that follows. This guide helps you do exactly that.
FAQs
❓ Is this guide enough for me to sell my home on my own?
This guide gives you the right questions to ask—so you can avoid mistakes and spot gaps in your FSBO plan. While it’s a powerful starting point, you may still want to consult a real estate attorney or use flat-fee MLS services to cover all your bases.
❓ Can I list my home on the MLS without hiring a full-service agent?
Yes! Flat-fee MLS services allow FSBO sellers to get listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which increases visibility with buyers and agents—without paying a full commission.
❓ Do I still need a lawyer if I go FSBO?
In most cases, yes. A real estate attorney can review contracts, disclosures, and closing documents to ensure your interests are protected. FSBO sellers who skip this step sometimes face costly legal issues later.
❓ Will buyers’ agents show my FSBO listing?
Often, yes—but only if they see their commission protected. That’s why one of the key questions in the guide covers how to handle buyer-agent commissions strategically.
❓ What if I price my home wrong?
Pricing too high means your home may sit on the market. Pricing too low means leaving money on the table. The guide includes the right questions to ask about pricing—so you can find the sweet spot that attracts serious buyers while protecting your equity.

Because it’s not just a random list of advice—it’s a curated set of the most important questions to ask before and during your FSBO journey. It’s practical, easy to use, and designed to save you time, stress, and money.
