With a different take on selling or buying a home, owners. You can purchase listing packages which range from a basic owners. While this is a cool concept, there are certainly some cons to any type of FSBO, even with a service such as owners. This site offers the most basic of services where they put your home on the MLS for a flat fee.
The company will assess the value of your home and come up with an offer days later. Keep in mind that the commission is usually wrapped into the sales price, which means the buyer ultimately pays the fee.
Of course, with no commissions to worry about, the seller can ask for a lower price—and the buyer can get a better deal. Savings thousands of dollars in commissions can be tempting. Still, it's important to remember that when a seller doesn't employ a real estate agent, the seller assumes all the responsibilities of completing the transaction.
If the seller is unfamiliar with the homebuying and selling process, any mistake can be quite costly. If the seller sets the listing price too high, for example, fewer buyers will consider the home. Likewise, too low an asking price means the seller could leave money on the table—potentially more than was saved by selling FSBO.
Also, selling a home via FSBO can pose legal risks if the sale's legal documents are not drawn up properly or if the home has issues that aren't adequately disclosed. Depending on the experience of the seller, avoiding the commission could be a wise financial decision. However, sellers with little knowledge of real estate transactions can find the situation stressful and may be better off working with a qualified real estate agent.

Each one of you think you have the magic formula to selling a home, when it is no different than selling a car or other high ticket item. I have seen successful agents not even be able to sell their own homes.
