Joyce: Six percent less, on average, than regular listings...it makes sense to call a quality agent to assist than trying to go FSBO.

While the results are the results, I'm not sure the conclusions can be broadly applied.  The study focuses on 13 highly populated counties only.  Only 150 counties (of over 3,000 counties) in the US comprise 50% of the population.  None of the counties studied were in Florida.  Do those 13 counties represent your local Florida market behavior?

The study uses AVM methodology as a tool to derive their results.  AVM models do not work well in low population housing markets.  Extrapolating urban results to rural areas is risky.

Also, it does not appear the study excluded Flat Fee Listings, which are typically used by FSBO sellers to advertise in the MLS.  Including Flat Fee Listings as agent represented most likely leads to overstating agent represented results and under-representing FSBO results.  

And one comment my stat professor consistently mentioned: "Correlation does not necessarily mean causation"
