Selling your home without a real estate agent in Illinois? Here's a quick checklist of where you still need professional support:

✔ Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Report — required by law
✔ A properly drafted purchase contract that protects your interests
✔ A title search to confirm clear ownership
✔ Title insurance for the buyer and their lender
✔ A licensed closing agent to manage funds, paperwork, and deed recording

The good news? Macon County Title handles all of it, right here in Decatur. We even have in-house attorneys who can review your contract — no referral required. Have questions about your FSBO sale? Drop them in the comments or give us a call at (217) 428-8080. We're happy to help.

I could not ask for better service, professionalism, and excellent work. All my questions were answered and I was guided through the entire process. Andrew and the staff are amazing to work with. This was a difficult time for my family and I in our life's and they made the process feel like a walk in the park. I can’t thank the entire team enough.

We are excited to welcome Closing Officers Mindy Collins & Heather Urbanowicz to our team! Mindy has been with us for 6 months processing and has fit right in with her extensive background in Banking. Heather is just an example of good fortune. She was in our office purchasing a home in Mt. Zion and mentioned she worked at a title company in the city she was moving from. And then casually said “are you hiring for a closing agent?” Yes was the answer! Heather and Mindy hit it off and make quite a team. We are looking forward to your next closing!

True or false: Title insurance is only something the buyer has to worry about.

False – and this is one of the most common misconceptions we hear from FSBO sellers.

As the seller, a title search still has to be completed on your property before closing. That search digs through public records to make sure you have clear ownership and that there are no unpaid taxes, old liens, or other claims that could stall your sale. If something turns up, it needs to be resolved before you can close. We've been handling title searches in Macon County for over 100 years, so we know exactly what to look for – and how to clear it up fast. Selling your home without an agent? We'd love to help you get to the closing table with confidence. Give us a call at (217) 428-8080.

Thinking about selling your home without an agent? You're not alone — plenty of Central Illinois homeowners go the FSBO route every year and come out ahead. But skipping the agent doesn't mean skipping the professionals who protect you legally and financially.

From the required Illinois disclosure forms to the purchase contract to the closing table itself, there are real risks that can catch FSBO sellers off guard. A missing clause in your contract or an old lien on your title can turn a smooth sale into a stressful (and expensive) problem.

That's where we come in. At Macon County Title, we work with FSBO sellers throughout Decatur and Macon County every step of the way — title search, contract review, and closing coordination. You found the buyer. We'll handle the rest. Read the full guide on our blog, and feel free to reach out with questions at (217) 428-8080.
