For Sale By Owners - There are problems in doing it yourself. Remember, we are talking about one of your largest investments. Most Sellers have problems writing a legal and binding contract. Direct contact with the Buyer can weaken the Seller's position. FSBOs attract bargain hunters and credit-problem buyers. Any money saved by not paying a full commission will be subtracted by this type of buyer. Over 90% of all FSBOs end up listing with a professional Realtor. Oh, the saga of going FSBO!!
