As if a professional realtor hasn’t beem aware of this…
Many FSBO sellers will “test†the market themselves, and then if after a couple of weeks they have no serious buyers, they then hire a real estate agent. Sellers might waste valuable market time by failing to sell the house, but the thinking usually goes something like, “If I can save the Realtor commission by selling it myself, then I’m money ahead.†However, there’s a big hole in that logic.
