No Florida law requires a realtor to sell your own home. It’s your choice, and each path trades money, time and effort differently. The steps are the same in every Orlando ZIP, from 32801 downtown to 32822 in southeast Orlando. Here’s how they compare for an Orange County home.
How can I sell my home in Orlando without a realtor?
1. List it yourself on the MLS
A flat fee broker puts your home on Stellar MLS for a set price, and the listing flows to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and other sites. You show the home, take offers and sign the contract. This reaches the most buyers, so it usually brings the strongest price. It also takes the most of your time.
2. Sell to a cash buyer
Investors and instant-offer companies buy homes as-is and can close fast. You skip showings and repairs. The tradeoff is price: their offer leaves room for repairs, holding costs and their profit. See our guide to we buy houses for cash companies before you sign anything.
3. Sell privately
If a neighbor, tenant or relative wants the home, you can agree on a price and close through a title company without listing it. Our guide to selling a house without listing in Florida covers the disclosures you still owe. NAR’s 2025 Profile found that 30% of by-owner sellers said selling to someone they knew was their main reason for going FSBO.
4. A FSBO website without the MLS
Some sites post your home on their own pages only. That’s cheap, but most Orlando buyers search with an agent who works from the MLS. If you try this route, plan a sign, an open house and social posts on top.
How do the options compare on cost and time?
| Path | Upfront cost | Who finds the buyer | Typical speed | Your work |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat fee MLS listing | Beycome Basic: from $99 in most states (see your state page), $0 at closing | Stellar MLS, portals, sign | Market pace | Showings, offers, paperwork |
| Cash buyer | $0, but a lower price | The buyer comes to you | Fast, on the date you agree | Low |
| Private sale | $0 to list | You already know them | As fast as both agree | Contract and closing |
| Non-MLS FSBO site | Low | Buyers who find the site | Often slower | All marketing |
| Full-service agent | Commission at closing | Your agent | Market pace | Low |
Every path still pays Florida deed stamps, title costs and prorated taxes. On the typical Orlando home, deed stamps alone are $2,609.60, per the Florida Department of Revenue rate of $0.70 per $100.
What does an agent cost? A 5% total commission on $372,800 would be $18,640. That number is only an example: commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable. You choose whether to offer any buyer’s agent compensation, and how much, and since August 17, 2024 those offers can’t be shown on the MLS. NAR explains this on its settlement page.
How do you list your house for sale in Orlando by yourself?
Orlando homes go on Stellar MLS (here’s what Stellar MLS costs and how its rules work). Stellar calls itself the largest MLS in Florida and Puerto Rico, partners with 19 local REALTOR® organizations and says it serves more than 80,000 professionals. Only licensed brokers can enter listings, which is why by-owner sellers go through a flat fee broker.
- Pick a flat fee plan and send your photos, description and property details.
- Sign the listing agreement and the seller’s disclosures online.
- The broker checks the data and enters it on Stellar; a complete file goes live within 2 business days.
- Agents and buyers contact you, and you schedule showings.
- You review offers and sign the contract you choose.
Our guide to flat fee MLS in Orlando covers what a $99 listing includes. For prices from other companies, see the Orlando flat fee MLS comparison.
How do you price an Orlando home by yourself?
Start with recent sales of similar homes nearby: same school zone, similar size, age and condition. Check the Orange County Property Appraiser’s records for square footage and sale history, then adjust for pools, roofs and updates. A free CMA calculator gives a quick range.
With values down 1.1% in a year, buyers compare closely. If showings are slow after two weeks, the price is usually the reason. Bankrate has calculators that show how rates change what buyers can afford, which helps you see your price from their side.

How can you sell your Orlando house fast for cash?
If speed matters more than price, a cash sale can work. Protect yourself with a few rules:
Sell smarter
List your home on the MLS from $99
A flat fee instead of a percentage, and $0 to Beycome at closing. You stay in control of your sale.
Sell your home →Buy smarter
Get up to 2% back at closing
On homes listed by other agents, Beycome credits you up to 2% of the price at closing (1% kept, $1,499 minimum; not on FSBO homes or homes listed by Beycome sellers).
Buy a home →- Get at least two written offers and compare them with your likely MLS price.
- Ask for proof of funds and a closing date in writing.
- Close through a Florida title company, not through the buyer’s own paperwork.
- Read the inspection and “assignment” clauses, so the buyer can’t hand your contract to someone else without your OK.
A middle path: list on the MLS and say you’ll consider cash offers. Our guide to selling to an instant buyer explains how those offers are built.
What legal steps does an Orlando seller handle?
Florida requires a flood disclosure at or before the contract under section 689.302, Florida Statutes. Sellers must also disclose known defects that materially affect value. HOA and condo sales add association documents, which are common in Orange and Seminole counties.
You don’t need a lawyer, but a Florida real estate attorney can review your Florida for sale by owner contract for a flat fee. The American Bar Association offers consumer resources, including help finding a lawyer. Our guide to whether you need a realtor in Florida covers the statewide rules.
For closing, Beycome Title handles Florida FSBO closings with a $99 settlement fee when prepaid on beycome.com.
