If you have ever wondered why some people choose to put up a “For Sale by Owner” sign, you are not alone.  Most choose to do this to save money by avoiding costly realtor commissions.  However, this does come at a cost.  Owners acting as their own agent must spend more of their personal time dealing with issues regarding the sale of their home because they are performing the work that would normally be done by the realtor.  Furthermore, while you may not need a realtor to sell your home, it is unwise to skip paying a real estate attorney to make sure that the transaction is legal and you are protected.
