We're looking for a house and thus spending some time on various estate agent and FSBO sites. I like to open each house's page in a new tab for easy comparison, but just about every FSBO site throws up a "Don't steal from us" nag box on right-click. It's obnoxious. Is there an extension or Greasemonkey script that can keep this from happening? [more inside]

I have "For Sale By Owner" questions. It has been a while since anyone has asked for advice for selling a home yourself, and I'm hoping for some more informative answers. If you've sold your house yourself, what websites did you use? Is there a company you would recommend for a MLS flat fee listing that includes a listing on Realtor.com? How small of a commission did you find buyer's agents are willing to take? [more inside]

So, I'm thinking of putting an offer an a "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) house. Having never bought a house without the assistance of a realator, and being interested in trying it out alone, I find myself in need of writing an "offer letter." Anyone have any example offer letters, or know where I could find some on the internet? [more inside]
