Blind leading the blind.

I won't even mention the statistics that comparatively show how ridiculous it is, to sell a home FSBO..

But as usual, The Villages are different than the real world. It's inhabited by the smartest, savviest, most sophisticated people in the USA ... at least in their own minds.
Can we please stop with the name-calling? It is not ridiculous to sell a home FSBO. If you have a nice home that is truly move-in ready and priced correctly, a buyer will snap it up. If either party is worried about the closing, you can hire a real estate attorney to complete that task. He/She will make certain the transfer of the home is seamless and worry free. You can easily have the home inspected before purchasing. The price of each is comparable to the closing costs of a home bought through MLS. I have no issues buying a home FSBO. I do not need a realtor holding my hand telling me what I should and shouldn't buy. In the real world, savvy people find what is best for them. Maybe you should wander out and meet some of them.
