So, after completely renovatinvg a three-story, 90-year-old rowhouse in Cantoj to showcase appeal, he put it on the marke t — himself — in March for He figures the for-sale-by-owner efforg will be worth themoney he’ll save in real estatr agent commissions: 6 percent of the sale or $34,440, if a prospectivse buyer comes to the settlement tabl e without a Realtor, half that if the buyer brings an agent. Given today’s tough economy and fallin home prices, the prospect of savingy 6 percent ofa home’s sale price by completingb the transaction without a Realtor may sound enticing to any cash-conscioua homeowner.
