New service for those who want to sell their home alone

A new property service may be of interest to homeowners in the Dublin area. It introduces a new concept in how domestic property is sold in Ireland.

For Sale By Owner is a professional support service for homeowners who decide to sell their houses themselves rather than retain an estate agent or auctioneer. Selling your house this way will save paying the average 2 per cent commission on the sale price.

Using this service, homeowners place their home for sale and advertise it in the For Sale By Owner monthly magazine. It will include properties in the greater Dublin area and will be distributed free in more than 1,000 local outlets, including supermarkets, convenience stores and service stations.

To use the service, the homeowner will pay a flat fee of £295. For Sale by Owner can be contacted at 01 679 0679.
