When does selling a house yourself actually make sense?

Selling a house yourself tends to make the most sense when you already have a specific, qualified buyer lined up, such as a neighbor or family member, and do not need broad market exposure to find one. It can also work for sellers comfortable with contract negotiation, disclosure requirements, and coordinating inspections and appraisals without guidance. Where it usually breaks down is pricing accurately without access to real comparable sales data and reaching buyers working with an agent. Joel Boss can tell you honestly whether your situation fits that case.
