Sometimes a new job comes along that is just too good to pass up, other times there is a major life changing event that means you must sell your property and move on to the next stage of your life ASAP. If that time comes along it can be exciting to some and overly stressful for others. Whatever your situation, sometimes life demands you move on and often time that means you must sell your home. The home that possibly you raised your kids in, or the home that you painted during a long weekend with your wife, the place that you have grown to call home.
When the time comes to move and you have to sell your home there are a few number of limited options for home owners. The most obvious choice is listing with a realtor. If you house is in good shape and can be priced reasonably, selling with a realtor on the MLS is not always a bad choice and in a hot market there is a good chance it will sell quickly. If the home sells quickly, and quickly with a realtor means 45 days or so after an offer is accepted, which may be another 2-6 weeks depending on the home and the market. That means if you have to move before your home closes you will be looking at 2-3 months of having to make mortgage payments before closing. Besides that waiting period there are a few other drawback of selling with a realtor.

- Pay 3-6% of total home sale price at closing
- Pay some closing costs
- Possibly reduce selling price of home to meet buyer’s offer
- Put money into repairs after home inspection
- Holding costs including mortgage payments and repairs/maintenance/bills for term before closing (2 + months)
The most obvious other option at this point in your life is to sell your home FSBO or For Sale By Owner in Lincoln. Many sellers like this option because it means they don’t have to pay or deal with a realtor, and that alone is enough reason for many to sell on their own. However, selling on your own also means that no one is in your corner and you are on your own when it comes to putting together the deal. Depending on your level of comfort dealing with a buyer and coordinating the sale of your home, including finding purchase and sale contracts and organizing the closing with a title company. Even though this can save you fees, it can still leave you high and dry and more stressed out than ever. Some drawback of selling FSBO in Lincoln, NE include:
- No MLS exposure, most potential buyers never know your have a home for sale
- Must create or find quality sales contracts that protect you and your buyer
- Have to deal directly with the buyer and title company
- May need to reduce price to attract more buyers

The two main ways of selling your home as mentioned above have the main benefit of getting cashed out and getting your equity out of your home at the closing table.
