To augment our family income, I worked as a part-time realtor for a couple of years. So, we decided to save money on the commission when selling our house by selling the house ourselves. We received numerous inquiries from other realtors who thought that our home is a for sale by owner. They were disappointed when I told them that I am a realtor and selling my own home. We listed our home in the MLS and we sent blanket email to other realtors about our house.
