Buying or Selling FSBO

UIn reality, all real estate is For Sale By Owner, or it is also called FSBO. Some owners just hire a realtor as their choice for their Marketing plan. In a nutshell, the biggest difference in purchasing property directly from an owner as compared to dealing through a realtor is that the buyer and seller do not have the "6% Commission"burden to impede making a deal they are each comfortable with. Transactions only occur when both the buyer and seller are comfortable with the deal. Many home sellers have a price that they either Need or Want to get out of their property. If property values are such that they can't get this price after they have paid a realtor 6%, these sellers Must either list their property with a realtor at an "above market" price (meaning a deal will not get done because the seller does not have the flexibility to negotiate) or market their home For Sale By Owner in order to meet their price target. Other property sellers understand that they can offer home buyers an attractive "slightly under market" price and still take more cash to the bank since they are not paying a realtor 6%. The buyer, on the other hand, simply wants to buy a home of a particular type in a particular area for the best price the buyer can get. Considering that sellers always think property is worth more than buyers want to pay, it is logically certain that deals should be easier to consummate when a 6% middleman is taken out of between two parties that already have a difference of perspective about what is a fair price. Out of the starting gate, the buyer and seller are 6% closer to a deal. Since the Buyer is really paying the realtors 6% commission (the buyer is the only party bringing a check to the closing to pay the realtor), buyers must decide if they consider the services of realtors to be a value to them at 6% of the property price since that commission cost is built into the property sale price. As information resources continue to increase, buyers should increasingly find that they can pay a reasonable professional service fee to an Attorney, an Appraiser, and an Inspector and with this competent professional help buy property cheaper than paying a 6% commission to a realtor.
