"The founder of a website helping people to sell their own homes has found a buyer for his own apartment-with the help of a traditional real estate broker.

ForSaleByOwner.com creator Colby Sambrotto even paid the standard 6% commission after selling his 2-bedroom New York condo for $2.15m.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr Sambrotto spent six months trying to sell the apartment in trendy Chelsea through online listings and classified adverts. But the DIY home selling guru eventually decided to turn the sale over to a professional.

Not only did the broker set the price $150,000 higher than the original asking price, he went on to lure the elusive buyer Mr Sambrotto's self-help methods had failed to attract".
