However, it also means taking on full responsibility for the sale, and it comes with some risks.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll share seven key steps for selling your Oklahoma City home by owner, along with important tips, legal considerations, and alternatives if the FSBO route feels overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">How Much Is Your Oklahoma City Home Worth?<\/h3>\n                        <p>Home values in Oklahoma City have increased significantly in recent years.

Selling by owner allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set your own price<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Communicate directly with buyers<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Manage showings and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-to-negotiate-when-selling-a-house\/\">negotiations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That said, FSBO transactions are relatively rare. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/magazine\/real-estate-news\/fsbos-reach-all-time-low-more-sellers-rely-on-agents\">only about 5% of home
