Selling your home off market without a real estate agent, also known as “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO), can save you thousands of dollars in commission fees.
While the process of selling your house off market without a realtor requires more effort and attention to detail on your part, many homeowners in Stockton successfully sell their properties without an agent.
Here’s everything you need to know about navigating this process.
Can I Sell My House in California Without a Realtor?
Yes, you absolutely can sell your house in California without a realtor.
California law doesn’t require you to work with a real estate agent to sell your property. However, you’ll need to handle all aspects of the sale yourself, including:
- Setting an appropriate listing price based on comparable sales
- Marketing your property effectively
- Showing the home to potential buyers
- Negotiating with buyers
- Managing all necessary paperwork
It can be expensive and time consuming to sell a house, either on your own or with a real estate agent.
Fortunately, you can skip the costs and effort of cleaning up, fixing and even updating your house, and you don’t even have to show your house to anyone, or wait months while you try to find a buyer! You can sell your house directly to us at Westbrook REI, as quickly as you want!
While you could list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) through a flat-fee broker, many homeowners find that working with a cash home buyer like Westbrook REI offers a simpler solution.
Selling through a real estate agent usually takes 3– 6 months.
When you get a cash offer on your house from us, the whole process is often as little as 7 days.
You won’t have to worry about repairs or updates, and you won’t need to deal with inspections or appraisal fees. This approach eliminates the need for showings, negotiations, and complex marketing strategies.
Just call our office at (209) 481-7780 and tell us about the property, or fill out the form below. We’ll give you a fair all-cash offer to buy your house as quickly as you’d like.

What Paperwork Do I Need to Sell My House Privately?
When selling your house in California, you’ll need some basic paperwork to complete the sale:
