Our buyer split the cost of the legal fees. Some will and some won't.
I totally agree. I bought a FSBO and was very happy with this method. However, if I was selling I would use the Villages Sales and pay the price. The reason I BOUGHT the FSBO was it had been on the market for a long time and was underpriced. It is not like other areas- nobody shops for FSBOs, they shop with a Villages Realtor. Just my 2 cents. If you are a buyer, FSBO is great.
