"Experience since then has taught me that all FSBOs are hard to deal with. Not worth it for the average buyer."

I agree. Yeah FSBO's want to pocket the commission not thinking there is even more aggravation on the buyer side and he should thus be compensated as well on commission saved..

On the flip side I've easily sold so many as FSBO over the years. I was never greedy, stayed flexible, priced below the competition and always easy to deal with. Seemed the buyers always appreciated that...

Spoken like a true ex-realtor <g>..

My experience after doing more than a few FSBO's on both sides of the table, is that the deal progresses as smoothly, if not more so, than if a broker was involved. Maybe takes a little more time, but it was worth it to all involved.

NAR ads nothwithstanding, this ain't rocket science.
