Why are you interested in the MLS? Of the top ways homes are sold, none are "MLS". Consider holding your own "Open House Event". BE SURE there are a lot of signs (12+) that include "For Sale By Owner" and direction arrow to your home. The benefit is you can have these signs up all the time because you live there. Zillow.com is the #1 website for home buyers and you can market your home there for Free! BE SURE to have professional photography done. You can run ads in your local paper, social media and so much more! Owners wanting to sell on their own typically means they want to save money on fees. Consider this - What if you could put more money in your pocket and pay the fees?! Realtor.com survey from October 2022 states "only 11% of sellers actually succeed at selling FSBO. And if they do? Those FSBO homes sell for about 26% less on average than agented properties, which often negates any savings!" Hope this helps. Keep in mind, good realtors will help sellers price the home attractively, provide a realistic sales price, negotiate and protect owners with proper paperwork.
