Fsbo?
In my experience I've found that if I wanted to get a good selection of properties currently on the market I needed the professional services of an experienced agent......why would I want to spend my valuable time going to open houses and missing those not open...and perhaps missing the perfect home. Most buyers are with agents who know what's on the market...what's coming on the market...and how to get to these homes in the least time...eliminating those that don't fit my needs.
Another point. The buyer knows that the FSBO is trying to save a commission and will usually gauge an offer to reflect that savings....in other words the buyer is also trying to save the same commission the seller thinks he will save....nobody wins. I want professional agents working for the seller and working for me when it comes to finding financing and legal representation at title search and closing time. There are a lot of really great agents working up here.....I'd rather work with them and pay them....than try to count on an inexperienced seller while he's only on Chapter 2...of the "How To Sell Your Own House" book. Good Luck
