Kelowna FSBO
Selling your house without a realtor in Kelowna.
How for sale by owner works in BC, what you will need to handle yourself, and how to get your Kelowna home on MLS® for a flat fee.
Can you sell your own home in BC?
Yes. BC homeowners can sell their own property, and a lawyer or notary handles the closing. What you cannot do on your own is list on MLS® and REALTOR.ca, which is where most Okanagan buyers and their agents search.
What Kelowna FSBO sellers handle
- Pricing: BC Assessment values can lag the market, so price from recent comparable sales.
- Disclosure: be ready to answer questions about the property's condition and history honestly.
- Showings, calls and offers: booking, follow-up and negotiating price, subjects and dates.
- Closing: your lawyer or notary handles the transfer and funds.
A flat-fee MLS® listing
Rob's Sell It Yourself option lists your home on MLS® and REALTOR.ca for a flat fee instead of a listing commission. You run showings and calls, and add photos, a lockbox, a showing desk or negotiation support only if you want them. Call Rob to confirm the details for your Okanagan property.
About buyer's agents: offering a cooperating commission of 3.5% on the first $100,000 plus 1.5% on the balance encourages agents to show your home. It is your choice and negotiable.
Common questions
