If you are selling your property privately, you do not have to handle the nuances and intricacies of sale alone. You could retain the services of an expert real estate broker and pay a reasonable fee for being your consultant. You will still do all the activities yourself, but the consultant will be there as a retainer to advise you at every step of the sale. It should not be difficult to hire one for about $5,000 or say about 20%, of the commissions, that you would normally pay to a real estate brokerage to sell the property. For a high valued property, this could tantamount to savings of tens of thousands of dollars over the traditional way of selling and hiring the services of a Real Estate Broker.
