Sell Your Home From Out of State Without Paying the 6% Realtor Fee Think you have to hire a local agent (and pay $18,000 in commission) just because you live out of state? Think again. In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen Whitten—realtor, founder of the Ohio Property Group, and veteran of over 2,500 home sales—reveals exactly how to sell your home from anywhere while keeping thousands more in your pocket.

You’ll learn:

  • How flat fee MLS listings give you the same exposure for a fraction of the cost
  • The real “boots on the ground” tasks and how to handle them for under $1,000
  • How the gig economy, smart lockboxes, and video systems make remote selling easy
  • When to fly in, when to hire local help, and when you can handle it all virtually
  • How the Ultimate Home Selling Toolkit can walk you through every step

Don’t let distance drain your profits. Whether you’re across the state, across the country, or across the world, you can sell your property like a pro and keep $16,000+ that would have gone to a traditional realtor.
