For Sale by Owner at Best Discounted Prices
..
The term for sale by owner, or FSBO, is a term used to describe a real estate transaction where a house or property is sold directly by the owner, without the help or interference of a real estate broker. This means that with a for sale by owner, there is no real estate commission that is involved in the sale.
For sale by owner has grown in popularity in the past few years where people market, buy and sell real estate without having any real estate agent representing them. The sellers who prefer to conduct their transactions by FSBO do so to avoid paying a commission of about 6% to the broker. This commission rate can change from 5 -7% across US, and Canada. The term for sale by owner can be used to refer both to the person who is selling the property and to the property or house that is being sold.
