Some real estate agents representing buyers avoid showing FSBO listings or even outright refuse to do so. They've been burned before by FSBO sellers who refuse to pay their commission or generally behave in an unreasonable manner, in the agents' view. You shouldn't undertake an FSBO sale unless you are confident that you have the expertise that an agent would bring to the project. That includes setting a reasonable asking price, marketing the house effectively, showing it to its best advantage, and getting together the paperwork that is required to complete the transaction.
