Is it to My Advantage to Sell "By Owner"?The majority of the people who sell by owner want to avoid the cost and commission of hiring an agent. This is a very time consuming and challenging task to pursue. For one reason being that FSBO's (For Sale By Owner) don't have the resources that real estate agents have at their fingertips. The large customer base, financial and legal ties, knowledge of local customs, and most importantly, patience. If you are the kind of person who appreciates a challenge, best wishes to you. However, if you are like most people, you have a time consuming job and a family to take care of, and don't need the extra hassle of managing real estate. That is why agents exist today.
