Why buyers in Viera Florida choose FSBO sellers?

This morning as I was returning from my early morning visit to my dental hygienist at The Dental Health Professionals at Viera, I drove by a condo complex with about 6 real estate agent "for sale" signs.

Then, in the midst of all these brightly colored (black and gold, red and blue with a balloon, and the like) signs, was a very humble looking red and white sign dwarfed by all the others. It was a very small FSBO sign.

Initially I thought maybe the seller was very smart...his price would be lower so his sign would be lower to the ground. Nah...not so.

So, I thought that maybe he was targeting a special group...only short people. Nah...not so. [Can't discriminate against short people or even the "big boned" crowd like me.]

These particular condo units are now selling way under $100,000. The FSBO seller must be looking to save a whopping few dollars or so by not paying a commission to a real estate agent.

Now I get it...the FSBO wants to have the buyer do all the work for about the same price as the listed units. [Buyers, even if you are working with a real estate, FSBOs are not off limits. Tell your agent about one that interests you and let them contact the seller for you!]

It is all about saving money....maybe I will clean my own teeth next time and save a few bucks too!

I think not ....using a professional is so less painful!
