Indiana FSBO Questions

An FSBO transaction has three main phases. First, you and the buyer agree on price, contingencies, and terms — that negotiation is yours. Second, sale pending: title, and inspection, financing, or appraisal when they apply. Third, closing, when the deed transfers and you receive your proceeds. The Selling Table coordinates the paperwork and the vendors from agreed terms through closing.

Our flat $1,500 coordination fee is paid once — at the closing of your transaction, directly out of your sale proceeds. Because we are not paid until you close, our incentives stay aligned with yours: we succeed when you do.

Launch our online intake wizard — no calls to schedule, no forms to print. It takes about 10 minutes to answer questions about your buyer, seller, and property, and your answers become the foundation of your purchase agreement. Prefer to talk first? Reach out and we'll walk you through it.

A traditional commission is often around 6% of the price, split between the listing side and the buyer's agent. On a $260,000 example, 6% is $15,600. That figure is an example, not Indiana's median price. The Selling Table charges $1,500 to coordinate the sale after you have a buyer. That is $14,100 less than the 6% figure, and it is not the same work as both agents. If the buyer has an agent, any fee for that agent is negotiated in the contract and is not part of the $1,500.

The sooner, the better. We offer free pre-sale consultations that can help you prepare your home before it goes on the market. We'll share a checklist, discuss pricing strategy, and make sure you're ready the moment a buyer appears. Waiting until you have a buyer in hand is fine too — we can step in at any point.

Indiana does not require an attorney to complete a residential real estate transaction. A licensed real estate broker, a title company, and proper documentation are what you need — all of which The Selling Table coordinates on your behalf.

You prepare the home, set the price, market it, hold showings, and negotiate price and terms with the buyer. The Selling Table prepares the Indiana purchase agreement from your wizard answers, coordinates title, and can help with inspections, appraisals, and financing check-ins when those apply. The $1,500 is paid at closing only if the sale closes.

No. You market the home yourself — a yard sign, Zillow's for-sale-by-owner option, Facebook, or word of mouth. We do not put your home on the MLS. Showings and negotiation stay with you. We step in once you and a buyer have agreed on terms.

A broker price opinion is a licensed broker's view of your property's market value based on comparable recent sales. It is not an appraisal, and a lender will not accept it in place of one. It is useful if you want a written opinion before you set a list price. Ours is $300, with results typically within one week.

Yes. Family sales, estate transfers, and other non-arms-length transactions often have simpler paperwork requirements. We offer custom pricing for these situations — reach out to discuss your specific circumstances.

We serve 12 counties in Southern Indiana: Daviess, DuBois, Gibson, Knox, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Orange, Pike, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick. If your county isn't listed, contact us. We will look at a transaction outside these twelve counties.

Absolutely. We serve clients in person, by phone, and virtually. Most of the process can be handled via phone calls, email, and electronic document signing. Many clients complete their entire transaction without a single in-person meeting.

If your transaction does not close — for example, due to inspection, appraisal, or financing issues — you owe The Selling Table nothing. When you are ready to try again with a new buyer, we can pick up where you left off and help you start fresh.
