FSBOs don't operate their own public reporting system for success and failure. Do you know any FSBOs who have been successful? I know exactly one, and he came back to me years later when he was coming back to the U.S. after a stint in Brussels, Belgium, after he had completed an anti-trust legal internship and needed to buy his second house from me. He had sold his first house here (which I had sold to him) to a law partner before leaving for Belgium. (nothing like two rational parties getting together to make a fair deal for both)and it apparently worked out well. But when it was time to come back home to the U.S., he wanted an agent to help his family get another house in a certain area when he was reunited with his law firm here in DC. I know about a lot of failures and frustrated people who thought they had a deal and found out they didn't. Statistics aren't kept on this. Memories are.
