Why do FSBOs sell for less?  

According to the National Association of Realtors, homes listed with a professional real estate agent sell for more than those sold on their own.  FSBOs sell for 20% less than agent assisted sales. So even with a 7% real estate fee, sellers still net 13% more by using an agent!

 FSBOs typically attract "low ballers".  They are investors or buyers looking for a steal.   It's that yard sale mentality.  FSBOs are often the target of bargain hunters who believe the myth that cutting Realtor fees actually saves them (the buyer) money.  So who saves?  The buyer or seller?  It can't be both!

A highly motivated, qualified buyer will not forgo all the services that an agent offers!
For example, a buyer can go online, find a home and call an agent for information. The agent will meet them, gather criteria, do a search, identify the best homes for them, take them on a tour, give them a CMA to help with pricing, recommend a lender, netotiate the deal, manage the transaction and get the deal closed!  All of this is at no cost to the buyer!
