How much money do you actually save selling for sale by owner?

Savings from selling for sale by owner come from skipping a listing agent's commission, but that is not automatic once you count the time, marketing, negotiating, and paperwork an agent would otherwise handle. Georgia still requires a licensed attorney to close either way, so that cost does not disappear, and many sellers end up hiring one earlier than they would with an agent guiding it. Whether the tradeoff is worth it depends on how comfortable you are handling it yourself. Joel Boss can walk through what an agent does.
