  28. I have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate purchase, a commission rate is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers do not “save” the commission. Rather, they try to win the commission by means of doing a strong agent’s work. In doing so, they devote their money as well as time to perform, as best they are able to, the tasks of an broker. Those assignments include getting known the home by means of marketing, delivering the home to buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to prompt an offer, preparing home inspections, handling qualification investigations with the loan provider, supervising fixes, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
