  9. I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate financial transaction, a commission rate is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers do not “save” the fee. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by doing a good agent’s work. In accomplishing this, they commit their money along with time to conduct, as best they’re able to, the assignments of an real estate agent. Those tasks include uncovering the home through marketing, showing the home to willing buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, scheduling home inspections, managing qualification investigations with the financial institution, supervising maintenance tasks, and aiding the closing of the deal.
