Selling Your House: Do you choose the Do-it-yourself, Jiffy Lube or Firestone Method?

Selling your house can be approached in a similar manner as getting an oil change.  I am not talking about loosening some bolt, draining the old fluid, and filling with new although in this market that may very well describe the process of debunking old real estate information and providing current market information.

When it comes to an oil change you can choose to either...

1. Do it yourself under the old shade tree, 
2. Go very basic with minimal service (Jiffy Lube), or
3. Choose a full service store  (Firestone)

When choosing to sell your house you may go the way of...

1. Do it yourself (FSBO).  If you have the skills, go for it knowing if problems arise there is nearby professional help! 
2. Choose the no-frills route, minimal service such as placing your listing in the MLS system will work but there is more to selling a house.
3. And most choose a full-service brokerage who has the resources to market and get to the closing table as smoothly as possible.
