Our "six steps to selling your own home" was created from a seminar run by Audrie for homeowners trying to sell their own homes while she was a real estate broker in Atlanta.
She hosted the seminar in her house and filled it with owners who wanted to sell their homes for sale by owner (fsbo), plus appraisers, attorneys, mortgage brokers and other real estate professionals.
The seminar was packed, and lots of fun. Real estate professionals opened up on how an owner could sell their own home for top-dollar, and without a dime in commissions to Realtors.
