FAQ
Questions Oswego FSBO sellers ask us.
- How much can I save listing FSBO in Oswego?
- Roughly $16,500 on a typical Oswego home. Home Posted FSBO listings are free, you avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely. You may still owe buyer-agent compensation if the buyer is represented; many Oswego FSBO sellers offer 2–3% to attract agents while still saving the listing-side commission.

- Do I have to put my Oswego FSBO on the MLS?
- No, Home Posted's marketplace gives you direct exposure to retail buyers and to our pre-screened cash-buyer network without the MLS. If you want MLS exposure too, you can pair our listing with a flat-fee MLS service (typically $300–$500 in New York) and still avoid the listing-agent commission.
- What disclosures do I need to make as a New York FSBO seller?
- New York requires a written seller's property disclosure for most residential sales, defects you actually know about, not what an inspector might find.
