If you are a buyer, FSBO is great.
We listed with TV and sold to the first buyer for so much over the asking price it would have covered the real estate fee of the asking price. They have connections to the largest number of interested buyers. Two showings in one day, and two over-price offers--all before the trolley viewing.

It used to be they were mainly interested in selling new homes, but not anymore since most of the new housing is in Fenney with no golf cart access to up here. Plus this is a busy buying season.
