Question

What are the steps needed in order to sell a home in Iowa without a realtor

Answer 1

if you need to ask this, you need a realtor.

unless you already have a buyer and then a lawyer can handle the paperwork.  Even then, there are a lot of things that need to be done: financing, inspections, settlement, etc.

Answer 2

You try to do exactly what an agent does.  You find a buyer.  You advertise and hold open houses and put out a sign.  If you get lucky, you saved a lot of money.  If you don't get lucky; at least you tried.

If you find a buyer, you go to the nearest escrow office and tell them that you have found a buyer for your house. They are nice. They will help you. Some buyers will lie to you.  Agents are ready for the lies.  You will be caught off-guard.  Get to work.  And if it doesn't work, call the agent and pay some money and hit the road.  We've all paid a realty agent at some time and we lived. /
