  8. I have noticed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate exchange, a commission amount is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the payment. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission by way of doing a strong agent’s job. In completing this task, they shell out their money plus time to perform, as best they will, the assignments of an agent. Those tasks include disclosing the home through marketing, introducing the home to prospective buyers, building a sense of buyer emergency in order to prompt an offer, preparing home inspections, controlling qualification checks with the financial institution, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing of the deal.
