You've seen it just about everywhere there is a list of things being sold. FSBO (For Sale By Owner) is one of the most commonly found acronyms found in real estate listings today. But what exactly does it mean? The bottom line is that if a home is listed a FSBO, then it is being sold without representation from a real estate agent.

There are several reasons why someone might want to list and try to sell their home on their own without using an agent, many of which are driven by the belief that they will make more money. After all, you can't always depend on an agent to accurately price and list your home for sale because they will often overprice the homes they represent in an attempt to make more money off the commission. Unfortunately, most people that list their homes as FSBO may have some difficulty finding buyers, and usually end up listing their homes for sale with a Realtor after all.
