So the transaction is likely to reduce the sale by the commission with or without the realtor. I think the value they can add is screening the buyers before bringing them in, and fielding the calls from the "just curious". I think you can negotiate the living daylights out of them too. Just my 2 cents.

Steve, you have made some very valid points. Many Purchasers feel they can "steal" a FSBO. Other Purchasers will avoid FSBO's as they don't want to deal with an emotional owner.
