Attention For Sale by Owners: If you choose to sell your home on your own, please make sure you are following the law. It is NOT legal for you to offer compensation to any one other than a licensed broker/agent for anything having to do with your transaction. For instance, you can not offer to pay someone a 'finders fee', 'referral fee', or any other type of compensation for sending you a buyer. There are lots of real estate laws in the state of KY. As licensed agents, we are required to take 6 hours every year of continuing education to keep our active license status. This is just another reason you should consider hiring a licensed professional to help you sell your home. You could get yourself into trouble and not even know it when you choose to do this on your own.
