I bought a FSBO yesterday. Yes it can be a more challenging process, however you can also get what your looking for at a fair price. I study this market a lot. I made my first offer on the home in June. I did my research, comparison pricing AND checked what price homes like this had sold. I believe I got a good deal and I believe the seller received more then selling through MLS or VLS due to no real estate commission. It took a while for the seller to understand they were not going to get the full asking place including the savings of a commission. However it all came together in the end. Know the market, make a fair and realistic offer, prove to them your qualified, always praise the home and it can work.
