For Sale by Owner (FSBO) - Transactional Advice

Are You Selling Your Home Independently?

Consider Working With a Real Estate Attorney

Many owners of real estate property are choosing to sell their property independently instead of hiring a realtor. For-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transactions can save the seller a significant amount of money, as many real estate agents get a 5% cut of the selling price.

However, FSBO sellers can run into a number of legal and transactional problems in the process of selling their home. At Beckman Marquez & Dowling, LLP, we support for-sale-by-owner sellers at all stages of the process. To discuss how hiring an attorney can benefit you, contact our San Francisco law office today.

Why Should I Work With a Lawyer?

Selling a home is a process ridden with paperwork and legal complexities. For this reason, many individuals choose to work with a real estate agent. However, many home sellers are mistaken when they think that the process is simplified by working with a realtor. This is not true. The process involves the same amount of paper and transactional work regardless of the involvement of a real estate broker.

If you have chosen to sell your home independently, we can provide you with as little or as much legal support as you need to complete your for-sale-by-owner transaction. At Beckman Marquez & Dowling, LLP, our main concern is helping you complete the transaction appropriately and minimize any liabilities in the future through negotiation, litigation, or alternative dispute resolution.
