For Sale By Owner , or FSBO for short, is a type of transaction where a homeowner attempts to sell their home themselves without the aid of a real estate agent. While this is often done as a cost savings mechanism, it can often lead to other challenges as the average person lacks the comprehensive understanding of the real estate transaction process held by a top agent. Additionally, it can leave you legally liable for any potential missteps, which may ultimately cost the seller much more than standard agent fees.
