I'm not sure... However, after trying to sell on your own, and wasting alot of time, energy and stress, you'll probably end up using a Licensed Real Estate Agent anyway. In the long run, you probably will get a higher price for your home using a Realtor as most people looking at for sale by owners want a BARGAIN and think they can steal your house for a real low price.

Yes, you can offer your coop for sale on this site and several others. Sites like Trulia, Craigslist, Backpage and more do take listings from homeowners (AKA for sale by owners OR FSBOs).
There are several advantages to selling your home FSBO:
- No commissions to payout
- Some buyers know that they are dealing with someone who doesn't do this for a living so they can take advantage of them on price and negotiation
- You create the marketing message, ads, fliers, and web site yourself
However, when you hire an agent there are some major advantages that you should take a look at:
- Agents have the tools and knowledge to price your home optimized for the highest value or quickest sale (normally this alone justifies the commission)
- Your agent represents YOU and YOUR interests and negotiates on behalf of you to get the highest price possible.
- Agents like myself spend a lot of time creating marketing pieces, web pages, creating a dedicated 24/7 informational hotline, print ads and online ads all about your property
- We conduct open houses
- We manage and followup on all leads
- Once a buyer is interested, we help submit an offer and hand hold that deal like our lives depended on it until the deal is closed.
- We list your property on our site, plus other sites that have multiple listings from other agents
Agents will always be willing to chat with you about what they can do to help you sell your coop. Even if you have no real intention, it's worthy of a meeting with one even if it's just to pick their brain for ideas.
Always work with an agent if something happens you are covered under agents e & o insurance. Good luck http://www.lynn911.com
