I was involved in an intereting thread over on Trulia Voices last week concerning FSBOs. I was the first to respond (at the bottom), but the discussion got very lively soon there after.
The basis of the thread turned out to be, "Do agents avoid showing their buyer clients FSBOs?"

Good For My Ego... - 07/15/08 03:41 PM

Today I have been humbled by the positive response I've gotten throughout the real estate blogosphere from a handful of well-respected colleagues who seem to appreciate the "uncommon" ways I'm trying to market myself as well as my properties.
