Great post, but it’s difficult to trust anybody nowadays. However, real estate agents studied and worked hard to be able to give competent advice to real estate buyers and sellers so I think it’s unfair to just get the agents’ advices for free.

Very interesting I must say. I think that in the end there are so many issues to look into and that makes my head spin.
I think having an agent does save a lot of problems and also we always have someone to blame if things go wrong.

You cant trust anyone nowadays and this post comes in a good time.

Some blogs can be trusted and there are good blogs too but then there is the risk of wrong information, I would like to indulge in buying something like with professional but reliable help.

I would use a referral for that.

Interesting.
I’d like to see where a dermatologist offers free advice regarding a specific medical problem that the doctor has not seen over the internet. However, Mr ForSalebyOwner believes this happens all the time. Poor analogy.

That was something that always killed me too – they don’t want a real estate agent, and yet – they do. But for free and without any kind of loyalty.

It’s one thing to do FSBO if you know what the heck you’re doing and have experience in negotiating and understand real estate law…but if you’re clueless, it’s a very foolish mistake.

Jay, Not sure what keyword they are using to find my site, but I get calls from FSBO’s asking similar questions from time to time. When I was new to the business I found them amusing, now I ust find it sad.

Surprised to see you are on Trulia.

Gee, for a buyer to deal directly with a fsbo, they have to both be of the same “stock”..

A good amount of FSBO’s have the potential to “eat their young”.. LOL.. (Just Kidding)….

I wouldn’t even answer a question like that. If you went without a real estate agent, use a lawyer.
