FSBO stands for “For Sale By Owner,” and it is a method of selling your home without the aid of a real estate agent. The main idea behind FSBO is that by selling the home by yourself, you save the 6% that would otherwise be given to the real estate agent as commission. This percentage can add a decent amount in savings. While this extra bit of money is what usually entices people into FSBO, most homeowners that pursue FSBO do not end up saving any money. Rougnly 10% of FSBO sellers are successful at selling their homes at all.
