Your biggest hurdle is going to be getting people in to look. Pretty much every buyer’s agent is going to scrub your listing as they won’t be getting their split on the purchase.
6% = 1/2 to buyer 1/2 to seller for most contracts. Unless another buyer with no agent finds you or someone with an agent finds you on their own and forces the hand of their agent you could be in a hard spot.
How active is your local market? Are the ame volume of units moving at this time of year as they were last year? Have prices increased? Buyer or sellers market?
I completely agree that agents are over compensated, they are an unfortunate requirement in many markets due to how entwined they are most of the time.
10-20 years in the future I honestly believe their role will be marginalized due to how easy it is for a buyer to find products and a seller to list.
Keep in mind, FSBO means you are handling all the showings, the no shows, the open houses. It isn’t a cake walk either.
I suck it up and use a realtor every time. I hate it, I bitch about it, then I cry about it, and move on.
