If Florida is the same as MA. (we did the same thing up there). On our FSBO, the buyer had a local MLS realtor who had been working with them. They scheduled a second walk through so they could bring her and get her advice. No problem if they buy their realtor (and her office) was entitled to half the going rate of commission. They bought and we paid her 2 1/2 percent of sale price.
There realtor was instrumental in the sale because they trusted her and she told them it was a great deal.
Best 2 1/2 percent I ever spent.
