Buying a house without an agent, also known as a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction, involves handling the home sale process independently, without the representation of a real estate agent.
FSBOs have become increasingly popular due to the potential cost savings, as sellers can avoid paying the traditional 5-6% commission fees associated with using an agent. Additionally, FSBOs offer greater control over the sale process and flexibility in scheduling showings and negotiations.
