I did a FSBO and it worked out better for us than going through a Realtor. We had more control over when the house would be shown and I could explain my home's features better than an agent could. We quickly realized that we had to be in the MLS because most buyers will use a Realtor and no Realtor will show a FSBO unless they are guaranteed a commission. I paid about $500 for the MLS and 3% to the buyer's agent.
