Wasn't sure if this needed go here or off-topic, but here goes:
My mom is putting her house on the market.
She has told me that after the professional painting and carpet is finished, but before she "officially" lists it with a realtor I can sell it for her. As in, she wants to put a FSBO sign out front with my phone number so I field calls and showings. She told me if manage to sell it before she has to get a realtor the. I get a $5,000 commission. It's a ton of work but that money would be so great I'm willing to at least try. (I'm also realistic about my limitations an realize it probably won't happen.)
I've done quite a bit of reading about the FSBO process but I still have a couple of questions.
There is a ton of work she is finishing up before she gets a realtor. Do I tell people looking at the house about this or wait for them to ask? And, do I mention that the house isn't officially on the market yet but that it will be soon? Would this be motivation for a buyer? What would you think if you were a buyer?
