In the seller's market that existed a few years ago, this would have worked just fine. I heard many, many stories of people who sold their home while they were on the front lawn hammering in the For Sale sign. Somebody driving by saw them and stopped and made an offer. Some people didn't even get to the point of putting out a sign. They just mentioned at work or at church that they were planning to sell and somebody made an offer. It was crazy.
Today, however, it is a much different market in much of the country. If I was selling my house today, I'd want every potential buyer I could get. As I said, it took my mother 9 months to sell her house with an agent and the market has gotten considerably worse since then.
