Whether you are buying or selling your Shreveport property, using a FSBO will save some money. Agents cost, and need to be paid some how, which often comes from the sale of your Shreveport property. Selling privately you can lower your selling price to entice buyers and give them a completive price. If you have residential, vacation or Shreveport land you need to sell, you can sell it yourself even if you are out of state. It is a good idea to get a property inspection by a reputable contractor if you're buying sight-unseen, to make sure there is no major repairs or expensive defects. If you’re financing through a bank, there will most likely pay for an appraisal, if not it’s easy to attain one.
