Most agents stay away from FSBO’s (For Sale By Owners) like they have the plague. Most of the time the fact that they want to market their own properties is understandable. Many of them hate with a vengeance agents. They often have good reason to. Among their travels they’ve been burned by an unscrupulous practitioner and they indict the entire profession due to their one bad experience. Let’s face it, real estate brokers and agents are one step below used car salesmen and one step above attorneys. The thing about attorneys is, if you have a good one, he or she is great and can save you or earn you lots of money. The same applies to a good agent. The key is to finding one. But in the meantime, for those who hate us, most of us want to stay away from you anyway. It’s not worth the pain.
