commission: Sellers go FSBO vs a Short Sale to avoid Commission - 07/21/09 03:17 AM
Some sellers are choosing FSBO over listing to avoid paying a commission. Problem is they often owe too much on their home and are trying to save a dollar. They may choose to pay a flat fee just to be in the MLS, but don't receive any representation from the agent at all.
Why are they doing this?
Bottom line is "their bottom line"
Homeowners are stuck between owing too much on their home and trying to become their own salesperson / negotiation / transaction manager in the meanwhile to try and save themselves money.
