I would never do it only because I can't be bothered with the headaches that come along with it. For no headaches when working full-time it is worth the 6% that comes out of the proceeds. We didn't make as much on our house, but honestly I don't care.
My friend is a agent, and I have used her to buy the house we are in now.
If you need to sell your house FSBO to save the commission, give me a chance to make an offer. I can close in 10 days all cash, or I can make your mortgage payments untils your house sells. An agent won't do that for you.
No spam here. I would love to make a serious offer to buy your house. I buy up to five Maryland properties a month. I'm probably the most serious buyer you've talked to. Call me if you need to sell your house.
