'I sold my own house in three weeks without an estate agent and saved £3,000 in fees - here's how to do it'

A woman has revealed how she managed to sell her own house in just three weeks without using an estate agent - saving herself £3,000 in fees. Carrie Rose, 30, bought her semi-detached house in a popular village in south Yorkshire six years ago for £154,000.

Carrie, who is the CEO and founder of marketing agency Rise at Seven, wanted to put her three-bed new build property on the market earlier this year to upsize to a bigger family home. But after speaking to estate agents and not being best pleased with their service, she thought she could do a job better herself.

Putting her 10 years of marketing expertise to the test, the homeowner was adamant she could sell her house by herself quicker than the average - and all whilst saving herself money too. She began by researching house prices in her local area, before later turning to TikTok for photography and editing advice.
