FSBO sales increase by 20% in last 5 years

The increased resources available on the Internet resulted in more consumers having confidence in their ability to successfully sell or buy a home without a real estate agent. The figures are staggering as there will be savings of nearly $9 billion in real estate commission on 2007 alone. These results have lead to great developments of For Sale By Owner sites which are targeting home sellers to pay a small advertising fee and save on the 6% commission of the real estate agent.
