Last fall a renovator listed a property on the HomesByOwner.com website. It sold in 9 days and he saved $12,000. On May 13, 2008, he and his wife posted their own home as a private sale. It sold on June 9. This sale took 28 days and they saved $11,550. The total savings for both properties was $23,550 which took 37 days of their time.
