In case you decide to sell your house without a real estate agent. This is just the start of what you need.

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.
