A step-by-step guide for FSBO sellers on running viewings and open houses: preparing and staging the home, what to say to buyers, scripts, safety, screening, and follow-up.

FSBO Home Viewings: How to Show Your House Yourself (2026)

Most guides jump straight to the steps. That is backwards. Selling your property yourself works beautifully in some situations and painfully in others, and the difference is predictable before you list. This guide gives you a simple way to score whether for sale by owner fits your sale, then the playbook to run it well if it does.

How much do you pay an estate agent to sell a home? It depends almost entirely on where the home is. Typical commission runs from about 1 percent in the UK and Netherlands to more than 7 percent once tax is added in parts of Europe and the US. This guide lays out the rates country by country, explains who customarily pays them, and shows where the hidden costs hide.

Moving abroad is exciting, right up until you start working out where you'll actually live. Then the mortgages, the legal requirements, the old forum threads, and the fifteen open tabs pile up, and at some point you stop looking for a home and start trying to figure out where to begin. If that's you, you're in good company, and you're less stuck than it feels. Plenty of people buy across borders these days: in one survey, nearly half of those who'd bought in the past two years made an offer without ever seeing the place in person (LendingTree), and people relocating lead the way. Most of the stress comes from having the whole process scattered across a dozen sources. So here it is in one place, step by step, with the bits that tend to trip expats up.

Buying a Home Abroad as an Expat: A Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

Your home has been on the market for quite some time without any real results. That can be frustrating, as what started as a clear selling plan slowly turns into uncertainty, doubt, and stress. If you're wondering “why is my house not selling?” you are not alone. 

But you're not stuck for the reason you think. In the US, Redfin reported that by late 2025 roughly 70% of listings had been sitting for more than 60 days, the point many agents consider "stale." A slow sale is rarely a verdict on your home. It's a signal that something in how the home is being presented, priced, or seen needs to change.

Viewings generate little interest, offers fail to come in or fall short of your expectations, and meanwhile you find yourself wondering: what should I do first, what should I fix? 

The good news: momentum can be rebuilt. And you can rebuild it whether you sell entirely on your own or with an agent beside you.


Why Isn't My House Selling? How to Sell Faster in 2026

As of mid-May 2026, the global housing market is no longer moving in one direction. Some regions are still seeing strong price growth because of supply shortages, foreign capital, tourism demand, and limited new construction. Others are cooling because affordability has hit a ceiling, mortgage rates remain elevated, or post-pandemic demand has faded.

The biggest takeaway: 2026 is not a “global housing crash” year. It is a regional divergence year. Buyers, sellers, and realtors need to stop reading national headlines as if they apply everywhere.

Global Real Estate Market Trends 2026

Selling a home has traditionally meant one thing: hiring a real estate agent, signing a listing agreement, handing over control of the process, and paying a commission when the property sells.

For many homeowners, that model still works. A great agent can bring experience, local market knowledge, negotiation support, and transaction guidance.

But not every homeowner wants or needs the traditional route.

The real estate industry stands at an inflection point in 2026. After years of gradual digital adoption, real estate agents and consumers are finally ready to move beyond paper-based transactions. This convergence of technology, consumer expectations, and market pressure creates a unique opportunity for forward-thinking agents to dramatically accelerate their business. Use this digital closing playbook to cut real estate transaction time from 90 to 30 days.

Selling a home has traditionally meant hiring a real estate agent and paying a commission that can range from 5% to 6% of the sale price. On a $500,000 home, that’s $25,000 to $30,000 in fees. But did you know you can also sell your property yourself with a modern real estate listing and transaction platform like Anyone.com? Read our 2026 Guide on how to sell your home without an agent.

How to Sell Your Home Without a Realtor.

For decades, buying a home required working through a fragmented system of agents, banks, listing portals, and paperwork. Today, however, technology is transforming the home buying experience. Read Anyone's complete step-by-step guide for first-time buyers to get an edge.

How to Buy a Home in 2026

Buying or selling a home is a complex process. Yet surprisingly, the way people choose a real estate agent has historically been incredibly random.

In this guide, we’ll walk through exactly how the home selling process works in 2026, including practical strategies to sell faster and reduce stress.

Most people choose agents through referrals, ads, or who responds fastest. That’s a broken system. Learn a better framework to evaluate agents and how data-driven matchmaking can improve outcomes.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming. Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to budgets, mortgages, offers, inspections, and timelines, plus how to stay organized from day one.

Agents have been stuck for too long using fragmented and outdated tools that slow them down instead of powering them up.

Anyone is the digital office, client pipeline, and transaction management solution you’ve been waiting for.

Everything you need to win in the new era of real estate

Many homeowners today are reluctant to sell because they locked in ultra-low mortgage rates in 2020–2021 and don’t want to trade those for today’s much higher 6–7% rates, especially while home prices remain elevated. As a result, the housing market feels 'stuck' with very low supply, and buyers are left with limited choices, high prices, and intense competition, making it especially tough for first-time and move-up buyers. However, this gridlocked market presents an opportunity for new AI-driven platforms like Anyone.com to connect buyers with off-market sellers and streamline transactions, unlocking more potential inventory and better deals for prepared buyers.

Why So Many Homeowners Won’t Sell

Buying a home abroad is exciting but it can be confusing, fragmented, and slow. Anyone.com connects you with local agents around the world and guides your entire transaction online: offers, documents, milestones, and communication all on one platform so you can move with confidence, wherever you’re headed.

Buy Anywhere: Why International Buyers Choose Anyone.com

Real estate is in the midst of a digital transformation. For decades, buying or selling a home meant juggling a patchwork of websites, emails, phone calls, and paperwork. It’s an industry notorious for fragmented workflows and outdated tools, leading to slow 60-90 day transaction timelines in many cases. Today, a new breed of platform is emerging to change that. Anyone.com is positioning itself as the “Uber of real estate,” delivering a fully digital, end-to-end experience that connects all stakeholders in one place. In this comprehensive comparison, we’ll explore how Anyone.com stacks up against traditional real estate portals like Zillow, Redfin, and Rightmove, as well as against agent-centric tools and CRMs such as Place and Rechat. We’ll see why Anyone.com’s unified, international platform offers superior value for buyers, sellers, and agents alike.

Anyone.com vs Zillow, Redfin, Rightmove, Place & Rechat

Tired of paying hefty referral fees or losing chunks of your commission to listing portals? The traditional models (like Zillow’s referral program) often take 30–40% of your hard-earned commission for each closed deal. That’s money out of your pocket every time you succeed. Anyone’s exclusive but temporary $99/month membership turns this model on its head. For a flat monthly fee (about the cost of a cup of coffee a day), you unlock an entire real estate platform – no commissions, no hidden fees, and no giving away 40% of your income. It’s a straightforward subscription that empowers you to keep more of what you earn while providing far more tools and value than any pay-per-lead scheme.
