You do not file anything yourself.

It depends on the house more than the county. On a typical $220,333 St. Joseph County sale, a 6% commission is about $13,220 and the transfer tax another $1,896, both of which a cash sale removes or the buyer covers. A cash offer is still below full retail, so the question is whether that discount is smaller than the repairs, fees and months of carrying costs a listing would cost you.
