FSBO Tips for Utah
- Search owner-listed homes on Zillow, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace — many FSBO sellers skip the MLS entirely.
- Hire a real estate attorney or title company in Utah to handle the purchase contract and closing documents.
- Get pre-approved for a mortgage before making offers. Sellers prefer buyers who can close quickly.
- Request a home inspection even when buying directly from an owner — it is your main protection against undisclosed defects.
