Your best bet is to contact the homeowner directly. A lot of times there not willing or able to pay for the buyer’s agent’s commission or they’ll ask that you pay the buyer’s agents commission and not them. Also we’ve found that a lot of FSBO’s are willing to shave some off their asking price if you’re not working with a buyer’s agent, so don’t be afraid to ask. I would how ever recommend that you hire a competent real estate attorney to review the sales contract and disclosures for any legal issues that might affect your rights as the owner or costing you in some other way. On our site you can hire local pre-screened service providers, including real estate attorney’s, you don’t pay a dime until the service is actually provided. You can also sign-up for automated e-mail alerts on our site. Many of our sellers are willing to give discounts to buyers that are looking to buy direct from the owner, or offer what we call Wholesale pricing. - Mon Oct 19 2009, 13:45
