Has anyone sold their house for sale by owner?

Adrian asked:

We really can not afford 6% for our agent. We are in N.C. and the houses go fast. I would like to hear from an experienced person how you go about selling your house on your own.

If possible I would like to email back and forth with some questions.

My credit score is at 680, but I need it at 700 to get a mortgage loan. Any way to raise my fico score fast?

hkropog asked:

We need to close on the loan by Feb. 1st. We are selling our house and paying off our debt with the proceeds from our sale. Will this raise our score? Would it be better to pay off credit cards (we have two with $1400 balance each. Or pay off two bank loans (one for a car and one for a consolidation loan)?

What’s better: a well-informed real estate agent or cheaper commission?

socalteacher asked:

We found a real estate agent who charges 5% commission to sell our home (2% for herself, 3% for buyer’s agent). Is that a good deal? She really knows the area, especially the townhouse community in which we live, so we figure that it’s better to have a real estate agent who knows the market and can get our house sold fast rather than trying to find someone else who charges less commission.

We want to know what you all think. Thanks!

marycollette@rocketmail.com asked:

I really would like to sell my house fast and I think selling it to an online company may be the only way to do that. My house has been on the market for quite some time now, and we really would like to be moved before Christmas and time is running out! Can anyone help?
