You have a home for sale in California. You don't want to hire a real estate agent, because that means paying up to 3% in commissions to your listing agent. (Note: Commisions on a transaction are generally up to 6% total: 3% to your listing agent, and another 3% to the buyer's agent).
On a $500,000 sale, that's $15,000 in commissions which you are paying to a real estate agent to represent you as seller and list your property for sale. As a percentage of your capital gain---if your house appreciated $50,000 in value, your listing agent is keeping 30% of your appreciation!
So, you decide to try to sell your home yourself. You want to be a "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) seller, but you don't have direct acces to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) - you have to be a real estate agent who has joined the MLS to get access. That means you need the services of one of the many FSBO companies that offer listings on the Multiple Listing Service in California.
There are many national FSBO companies you could pick from. 1Listing, a service of NCaHome serves only California sellers.
