Do I get a FSBO or two sure… but mostly why deal with people that place little value on your services and more often than not think they know more than you (other than financial considerations)…

LOL I have a FSBO directly across the street from me. His house is listed about $150K over the comps in the area, but in looking at his title profile, he is upside down and has to sell high. Doesn’t mean he WILL. He really should be doing a short sale, but makes his payments on time. I do like to work them though, because they do eventually list.

I have a FSBO around the corner from my house. Nice older gentleman who is a widow and wishes to move into a smaller place. He’s done a lot of work to the house but is asking entirely too much for it. It’s been sitting there… idle… for 8 weeks now

I totally agree with your post. Most FSBO’s do seem to be very out of touch with reality. I know it is a niche that some Realtors work really well, but some are so far out of touch that it may not be worth the effort to try and work with them.
