If you are thinking of putting your house up for sale, you may be considering listing it and selling it on your own. And that thought may make you feel empowered, may make you think you can easily do it and save yourself some money in the process. And of course, you can do it. After all, many people do it all the time.
However, you need to be aware of the fact that selling on your own can be very complicated. Mostly because you don't always know what is involved and required when welling a home.
