I have realized that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate managers, you'll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate purchase, a commission rate is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers will not "save" the percentage. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission by simply doing a strong agent's task. In completing this task, they commit their money and also time to complete, as best they can, the responsibilities of an agent. Those duties include uncovering the home by way of marketing, introducing the home to willing buyers, developing a sense of buyer urgency in order to make prompt an offer, booking home inspections, taking on qualification inspections with the bank, supervising maintenance, and facilitating the closing.
