Can I sell my house without a realtor?

Yes. Every U.S. state allows an owner to sell their own property without a listing agent. What you give up is the agent's pricing guidance, marketing reach, showing coordination, and paperwork handling — each of which you can buy separately, usually for a flat fee rather than a percentage.

Yes. Virginia does not require a licensed agent to sell residential property. Settlement must be conducted by a licensed settlement agent — typically a real estate attorney or title company — but the sale itself does not require a broker.

In Virginia a closing attorney or title company must handle settlement, so you will work with one either way. Many sellers also have an attorney review the purchase contract, which is inexpensive relative to what is at stake.

You pay for the services you use instead of a percentage. Typical line items are photography, a settlement fee, and optionally staging or a pre-listing inspection. [ VERIFY: LiNK's own fee schedule before publishing totals. ]

Your listing is public on LiNK and indexed by search engines, and buyers browsing Richmond homes see it alongside every other listing. Buyers can also set alerts that notify them when a home matching their criteria comes on the market.

That is common and it is fine. Their agent represents them; you represent yourself. What you negotiate is whether — and how much — you are willing to contribute toward their agent's fee, which since 2024 is an explicit negotiation rather than an assumption.

No. Browsing is open to everyone. A free account is required only to save a property, request a showing, place a bid, list a home, or offer services.

Every LiNK account uses two-step verification: after your password, we ask for a code we email you, or one from an authenticator app. It means a stolen password alone cannot open your account. Tick “Trust this browser” on your own device to skip the code there for 30 days, and keep your backup codes somewhere safe in case you lose your phone.

After several unsuccessful attempts to log in, we pause logins to the account for a few hours to keep it safe, and email the account holder. Choose Forgot your password? to set a new password, and you can log in straight away.

Open your account, choose Signed-in devices, and select Log out of all other devices. Every other phone or computer is logged out, including ones where you ticked “Remember me”; you stay signed in where you are.
