The scariest part of selling your home isn’t the negotiation table — it’s the certified letter that shows up months later when a buyer’s attorney decides your equity looks delicious.
In this episode, I’ll expose the five legal landmines that derail For Sale By Owner sales and show you exactly how to avoid them.
You’ll learn:
- How to bulletproof your disclosure forms in just 15 minutes
- The “House Biography” method that prevents post-sale disputes
- What to do about unpermitted work before it sinks your deal
- Why property line and survey issues kill closings — and how to fix them early
- The “closing day time capsule” trick that protects you from lawsuits years later
FSBO doesn’t mean you’re stranded on an island with a volleyball named Wilson. It means you’re the captain — but you still need a crew for the tricky parts. With honesty, documentation, and the right legal safety nets, you’ll protect your equity and sleep at night.
