Selling your home
without an agent.

Pricing your home correctly.

The single most important decision you'll make. Pull recent comparable sales — not list prices, actual sold prices — within the last 90 days, within a reasonable distance, with similar size and condition. Automated estimates are based on public data and algorithms. They are not a pricing strategy.

Overpricing is the most common FSBO mistake. A home that sits gets stigmatized. A stigmatized home typically sells for less than it would have at the right price from day one.

Oklahoma disclosure requirements.

Oklahoma law requires sellers to complete a Residential Property Condition Disclosure (RPCD) — a detailed form covering known defects. Failure to disclose known defects is grounds for rescission and potential legal liability. Disclose everything you know.

Pre-1978 homes also require a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure — a federal requirement with no exceptions.

Marketing your listing.

Without MLS access, your listing won't appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, or Redfin — where the majority of buyers begin their search. Flat-fee MLS services (typically $200–$400) can list you on MLSOK without requiring a full-service agent.

Professional photography is important. Listing photos are your first impression for online buyers.

Contracts and paperwork.

Oklahoma real estate contracts are written on Oklahoma Association of Realtors (OAR) standard forms. Use Oklahoma-specific contract language — not generic templates. A title company handles the closing, escrow, and recording. Choose one upfront.

Pay attention to contingency deadlines. Financing, inspection, and appraisal all have hard dates that can affect whether the transaction closes.
