There are however a few interesting stats that beg an update.
The most current Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors® found that fewer than 1:5 buyers search the FSBO dot com Web sites. Additionally, only 9% of the homes offered for sale in 2010 were FSBOs, JJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14851645208487989293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316177057278614299.post-89696069733640449112011-04-27T17:49:00.003-05:002011-05-13T14:37:10.595-05:00What Do You Save By Not Having A Buyer's Agent?This ties nicely with each of the last three posts to this BLOG.

Even in the best of times, it was difficult to fault a home owner for wanting to sell their home without a REALTOR®. Today, many home owners find it necessary to do so just to cut their losses.

The least helpful aspect of the advice is that it most often does not differentiate between a buyer's agent and a listing agent.
