LIST YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE OR RENT FOR FREE! The basic idea behind being a FSBO seller is to save money. Avoiding the payment of real estate agent commissions saves money! Lot's of Money! In the typical real estate transaction, a real estate agent will get a six percent commission. If you hire a real estate agent to sell your home for $100,000, the commission will be a whopping $6,000. Sell your home for $250,000, the commission will be a whopping $15,000. Sell your home for $500,000, the commission will be a whopping $30,000. That represents a lot of equity and mortgage payments. From a financial sense, being a FSBO seller absolutely makes sense. Obviously, the selling process requires you to learn a few more details, but isn't it worth it? What if I told you that I would pay you $30,000 to learn how to sell a home? Would you do it? YES! That is exactly what you are doing when you become a FSBO seller.
