I have noticed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate managers, you'll be able to get them to understand that, in each and every real estate financial transaction, a commission amount is paid. In the long run, FSBO sellers don't "save" the percentage. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by way of doing an agent's work. In completing this task, they shell out their money as well as time to perform, as best they will, the assignments of an representative. Those responsibilities include revealing the home via marketing, representing the home to buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, organizing home inspections, managing qualification checks with the lender, supervising fixes, and aiding the closing of the deal.
