Here are 3 of the top reasons why:
Commission Costs: FSBO sellers often pay a commission to the buyer's agent, which can deter them from selling independently. They're doing all the work and still paying fees.
Marketing Challenges: FSBO sellers typically face difficulties in effectively marketing their properties, resulting in lower visibility and fewer offers.
Lower Sales Prices: Homes sold through FSBO frequently fetch lower prices compared to those sold by realtors, leading sellers to accept less favorable offers.
