I have noticed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate owners, you'll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate transaction, a commission is paid. In the long run, FSBO sellers don't "save" the commission rate. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by means of doing a agent's task. In doing this, they devote their money as well as time to conduct, as best they are able to, the tasks of an realtor. Those responsibilities include displaying the home by way of marketing, presenting the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, organizing home inspections, handling qualification check ups with the lender, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.
