For Sale By Owner: Selling or Buying Without an Agent?
Thomas Roberts provides flat-fee support for For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sellers and buyers in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Rigby, Ammon, Shelley, Blackfoot, and surrounding areas — contract review, MLS marketing, open houses, and market data, each available individually, with no full-service agent commitment required.

Common questions
Who can help with a FSBO contract in Idaho Falls without hiring a full agent?
Thomas Roberts offers standalone contract help — reviewing and preparing all of the paperwork for a real estate transaction, from offer through closing, for $3,000–$6,000 flat, based on home price — with no requirement to hire him for anything else.
Who can list my for-sale-by-owner property on the MLS in Southeast Idaho?
Idaho's MLS is agent-only, so FSBO sellers need a licensed agent for direct MLS, Zillow, and Realtor.com exposure. Thomas Roberts offers this as a standalone marketing service for $499 flat.
Is there a flat-fee alternative to a full-service real estate agent in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, or Rigby?
Yes. Thomas Roberts offers four services in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Rigby, Ammon, Shelley, Blackfoot, and surrounding areas, each available individually: contract help ($3,000–$6,000 flat, based on home price), marketing ($499 flat), open houses ($65/hour, 2-hour minimum), and market data ($150 flat) — no full-service commission required.
Do I need a real estate attorney to sell my house myself in Idaho?
There is no legal requirement to hire an attorney to sell a home yourself in Idaho, but contract review is recommended. Thomas Roberts provides contract review as one of his standalone services instead of requiring a separate attorney.
Not sure where to start? Talk it through first
Before spending anything, you can book a free For Sale By Owner consultation. Thomas spends 20 to 30 minutes with you on a Google Meet video call explaining the work behind a sale or purchase without an agent, including listing marketing, the contract paperwork and where people commonly run into trouble, open house logistics, and how to price the property. Some FSBO sellers then go solo; others hire him for just one or two pieces. Either way, there's no obligation.
Thomas is not an attorney. For legal questions, a real estate attorney is the right person to ask.
