Figure out whether it makes sense financially to go to the trouble and expense of marketing and selling your house yourself, based on the commission you're saving. On a $100,000 home, you'll save half of the 6 to 7 percent real estate commission ($3,000 to $3,500), assuming that your buyer uses an agent. If neither of you uses an agent, you'll save $6,000 to $7,000 per $100,000. But you'll incur additional marketing expenses that you wouldn't have with an agent, such as newspaper listings, flyers, signs, Web sites, and anything else you to do promote it.

Be aware that serving as your own agent means that you'll need to be available at all times to take phone calls from potential buyers, schedule walk-throughs, and be at the house when folks want to tour. If your schedule doesn't allow for this level of flexibility, using an agent may make more sense.

Consider other options for selling your home. For instance, For Sale By Owner organizations offer ways to market your home for much less than what a real estate agent would charge--usually a flat fee upwards of a couple thousand dollars--while giving you step-by-step instructions on how to complete a sale.

Research what other houses in your neighborhood have sold for in the last couple of years to determine a reasonable asking price. Your county tax department has records of such comparable sales. Before you set the asking price, take into account closing fees, other selling expenses, and the amount of cash you want after the sale. Your home will sell faster if it is priced appropriately.

See5"Get Ready to Show" steps under How to Sell a House. Prepare a professional-looking letter-size fact sheet that contains a fullcolor photo of the house, the asking price, a list of features and amenities, utilities figures, property taxes and your contact information.

Get the word out. Pass out fact sheets to local real estate agents. Place an ad in the real estate section of your newspaper. Put up signs advertising your property for sale on your front lawn or in a front window. Post fliers describing the house in public areas and in apartment complexes that may be teeming with prospective home buyers.

Practice showing the home with some astute friends, then schedule your open house on a Sunday. Be there to answer questions.
