Selling your home by owner in Arizona runs in seven steps, from pricing off recent comps to closing through a licensed title/escrow company. ClozeEZ covers the middle: the free listing, showing requests, buyer verification, offers, and the Arizona contract and SPDS with valid e-signing. You price the home, prep and photograph it, market it directly to buyers, handle showings and offers, and deliver the required disclosures, including the SPDS. Arizona's escrow-based system and standard forms make FSBO very doable, and skipping the listing agent's ~3% keeps thousands in your pocket. Here's the full sequence.
Pricing is the biggest factor in whether a FSBO sale works. Pull recent sold comps in your area, homes of similar size, beds/baths, and condition closed in the last 90 days, and price at or slightly under true value to draw the motivated buyers who appear in the first two weeks. Overpricing stalls the listing and usually nets less.
Win the three moments that decide the sale: the view from the street, the walk-in, and the kitchen. Cleaning, decluttering, neutral paint, and small hardware swaps deliver most of the value for a few hundred dollars.
List where Arizona buyers are searching. On ClozeEZ you list free and receive buyer inquiries, showing requests, and offers in one place, with no listing agent taking a percentage. Add a yard sign and share the listing on your own networks to widen reach.
Arizona sellers use the standard Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract and must deliver the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) disclosing known material facts. You'll also manage the buyer's inspection period and any repair requests. Homes built before 1978 require a federal lead-based-paint disclosure.
Arizona is an escrow state: a licensed title/escrow company runs the closing. It holds the earnest money, clears title, prepares the settlement statement, and records the deed. Neither party nor ClozeEZ ever holds the funds. You choose the title company.

Yes. Arizona law lets an owner sell their own property without a license or listing agent. You're responsible for the required disclosures, including the SPDS and, for pre-1978 homes, the federal lead-based-paint disclosure, and for closing through a licensed title/escrow company.
The standard Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract, the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS), any applicable federal disclosures, and the closing documents prepared by the title/escrow company. ClozeEZ generates the contract and disclosures with valid electronic signing.
No. Arizona is an escrow state, so a title/escrow company handles closing and most owners sell without an attorney. Consider a few-hundred-dollar attorney review if your sale involves a trust, probate, divorce, title defect, or seller financing.
A licensed title/escrow company holds the earnest money and manages the closing. Neither the buyer, the seller, nor ClozeEZ ever holds transaction funds; money always moves through the neutral escrow company.
